Abstract:

The Idaho Strategic Plan for Managing Noxious Weeds addresses eight broad issues critical in building a strong and successful statewide noxious weed management program. These issues were identified and discussed at the May 1998 Governor’s Idaho Weed Summit in Boise. The purpose of the Strategic Plan is two fold: 1) to heighten the awareness among all citizens of the degradation brought to Idaho lands and waters by the explosive spread of nonnative weeds and 2) to bring about greater statewide coordination, cooperation, and action that will successfully halt the spread of such weeds and restore infested lands and waters to a healthy and productive condition. The Strategic Plan recommends the statewide formation of Cooperative Weed Management Areas and application of Integrated Weed Management practices. This is the best method for reducing the ecological, economic, and social impacts of noxious weeds on the state’s human and natural resources. To accomplish this, the supporters and cooperators will incorporate resources, priorities, and strategies of federal, state, and county agencies into a unified approach to halt or slow the spread of noxious weeds across Idaho. An Implementation Plan (or Plans) will follow completion of the Strategic Plan and will address each of the major issues detailing who, what, where, when, and how for the proposed actions. Many of the specific actions to be included in the Implementation Plan will be drawn from the May 1998 Summit recommendations.
