Summary:
The spread of noxious, invasive weeds on public, state trust and private lands in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico continues to be a cause of great economic and environmental concern. During FY 2008, a workshop was held to identify stakeholder needs and solicit input on the development of a strategic plan to address noxious weed issues in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. A follow-up action plan session was held to further refine planning. These plans are published on the Arizona Pest Management Center website. They serve as a guide for prioritizing noxious weed control efforts, coordinating communication, sharing of information, and are a useful citation of stakeholder priorities. The group continued to work together during
2009 and into 2010 on priority issues, and stakeholder education. We propose to continue to work together during the next year by holding a spring research/educational field tour, an annual winter planning meeting, and for planning, developing and implementing a Rapid Response Team training in several communities. Objectives: 1. We will develop and implement Rapid Response Team training in 10 out of the 24 local communities identified in our action plan. 2. We will hold a research/education field tour. 3. We will hold an annual stakeholder meeting including key personnel and agency representatives from both states, to share research updates, progress on action plans and weed management implementation efforts. 4. Two action plan sub-group meetings will be held to work on specific tasks. 5. We will continue our online communication, including the listserv, Google Docs, social network, and the work group website hosted by the Arizona Pest Management Center. |
