Special programs such as the Weed and Pest Special Management Programs were created by the Wyoming Weed & Pest Control Act of 1973. This program utilizes an Integrated Management System, which exercises all proven methods for preventing, containing, or controlling undesirable plants or pests, including:
- Education
- Preventative Measures
- Physical Methods
- Cultural Methods
- Pesticide Methods
- Biological Agents
Each district strives to achieve the best management with minimal environmental damage by employing Integrated Management Systems that take into consideration:
- The most efficient and effective methods
- Scientific evidence and current technology
- Physiology and habitat of the site
- The economic, social, and ecological consequences of the program
Get to know your district supervisor The major function of the district is to implement effective prevention, containment, and weed and pest management programs on all lands within the district. Each district office is staffed by professionally trained individuals who are there to help you set up your individual weed or pest program. The Goshen County Weed and Pest District is governed by a board of directors composed of five members. Members are appointed by the respective county commissioners and serve their county without pay. They do receive mileage and are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. The board of directors holds monthly public meetings to discuss district business.
