The goals of the program are to:  prevent the introduction of new invasive plant species, eradicate species with isolated or limited populations, contain and manage those invasive species that are well established and widespread.

Since 1914, when Congress authorized Extension in each state, we've been in the education/information business. The purpose of the Extension system? To provide a link between the university and the citizens of each state. We make available to people like you the research, information and expertise provided by our country's universities, and help you use the information to solve problems and improve your quality of life.

The mission of CWMA is to provide education, regulatory direction, professional improvement, and environmental awareness to preserve and protect our natural resources from the degrading impacts of invasive species (terrestrial and aquatic vegetation) in Colorado and surrounding states.
