Inland Empire Cooperative Weed Management Area (IECWMA) - Cost-share Grant End-of-Year Report 2009

The Inland Empire Cooperative Weed Management Area (IECWMA) is located in the central portion of the Idaho Panhandle, covering an area of 4,665 square miles in Benewah, Kootenai and Shoshone Counties.

Our goals are:

• Prevent the introduction, reproduction and spread of noxious weeds or invasive, exotic plants using early detection/rapid response (ED/RR).

• Educate the landowner (whether public or private) about the importance of weed management, through presentations and programs, the media or internet.
