Osceola County Cooperative Weed Management Area
Formal organizational meeting was held in August 2007, building on an existing strong network of partners in this county.
The Mission of the Osceola County Cooperative Weed Management Area is to identify, inventory, and monitor selected weed species in order to secure funding and conduct integrated pest management.
Successes include forming a steering committee made up of public agencies, NGOs and private landowners; working on a draft agreement will clearly define roles, responsibilities, and the sharing of funding and resources among stakeholders. Cogon grass demonstration day was held to focus on IPM and current BMPs.
