The Utah Weed Supervisors Association

The Utah Weed Supervisors Association is a non-profit organization and community development corporation registered in SAM.gov, located in Nephi, Utah. Focused on managing and mitigating invasive plant species in Utah's forest ecosystems, the organization specializes in providing critical environmental management services primarily to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Forest Service. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the association works closely with county weed supervisors and local communities to address invasive plant challenges across Utah's natural landscapes.

Through multiple federal grant awards from the Forest Service Research Service Rocky Mountain Research Station, the Utah Weed Supervisors Association has consistently secured Project Grants under the Forest Health Protection program (CFDA 10.680). These grants, ranging from $130,000 to $290,000, support comprehensive invasive plant management efforts from 2021 to 2030. The association's primary services include developing technologies and best practices for invasive plant control, delivering targeted education and outreach, monitoring forest health, and providing technical and cost-sharing assistance to land managers and owners. Specifically, the grants enable the organization to inventory, treat, and monitor weed populations, collect and maintain detailed data on weeds, their locations, treatments, and outcomes, and provide educational opportunities for county weed supervisors and their communities. The multi-year grants demonstrate a consistent commitment to protecting non-federal forest resources in Utah from damaging invasive plant species through systematic, collaborative approaches to environmental management.
