Weed Coordinating Committee Receives Achievement Award
from InsideNPS

The Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) Weed Coordinating Committee received a Lifetime Achievement Award on February 27th during a National Invasive Weed Awareness Week ceremony at the U.S. Botanic Garden, Washington, D.C.

Representatives from several organizations, including the Invasive Weed Awareness Committee and Federal Interagency Committee for the Management of Noxious and Invasive Weeds, presented the award.

Kelly McClosky from Grand Teton National Park, Kent Houston from the Shoshone National Forest and Ericka Edmiston from the Teton County Weed and Pest District accepted the award on behalf of the committee.

Invasive, noxious weeds spread rapidly, threatening habitat, biodiversity and agriculture. Eventually, invasive weeds disrupt entire ecosystems, destroying habitat for everything from microscopic creatures to large animals such as bear and elk. On rangeland, invasive plants reduce or destroy forage for livestock. Scientists estimate that invasive plants cost our economy $35 billion in damages and treatment each year.

The GYA Weed Coordinating Committee was formed more than 20 years ago to address this threat. The group included innovative land managers from the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and state and county agencies from Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. They produced The Guidelines for the Coordinated Management of Noxious Weeds in the Greater Yellowstone Area, the first guidebook for developing and managing a weed management area in the United States. These guidelines resulted in mapping standards now used by the North American Weed Management Association for addressing noxious plants in areas across the country.

Today, the GYA Weed Committee produces a noxious weed map for managing more than 30 million acres. This group continues to show leadership through the development of a certification process for inspecting and maintaining weed-free sand and gravel pits in the area, helping to prevent the spread of noxious plants.
