Description
The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food funds invasive-species projects with a high likelihood of success in Utah. The program emphasizes high-priority species and reducing outlier populations. Supported work includes early detection and rapid response, treatment of critical acres that protect larger land-use areas, monitoring to prevent the spread of small populations and new introductions, rehabilitation of established infestations, and related research.
For multi-year proposals, the department strongly recommends a three- to five-year management plan with extensive monitoring, solid participating partners, and a strong restoration component.
