 | | Often weeds are defined as "plants out of place" or as a plant growing someplace that you might not want it to grow. |
 | | But today, weeds are considered more than just plants out of place in wildland situations, they are non native, invasive species that can displace native plants and take over an entire area making it less valuable for native wildlife, grazing animals and recreation. |
 | | The goals are: prevention and detection; education and awareness, inventory, planning, integrated weed management, coordination, and monitoring, evaluation, research and technology transfer. |
