Wyoming’s natural beauty is unparalleled, from the awe-inspiring Yellowstone National Park to Devils Tower National Monument and everything in between. These native communities are at risk from invasive species. Under Wyoming statute (W.S. 11-5-101), these species are referred to as noxious weeds and pests. Help us preserve Wyoming’s natural beauty.

Wyoming’s iconic lands and diverse habitats belong to everyone—supporting wildlife, agriculture, tourism, and memorable recreation.

Sustained funding isn’t optional. Invasive species spread when funding stops.
MISSION AND HISTORY
Since 1973, Wyoming Weed & Pest Council (WWPC) has been working to eradicate invasive species.
Our mission is to provide unified support and leadership for integrated management of noxious weeds and pests to protect economic and ecological resources in the State of Wyoming. Our mission is powered by a committed board of directors and passionate committee members who play vital roles in achieving our goals.
OUR DISTRICTS
Wyoming Weed & Pest Council has 23 Weed & Pest Districts across the state. They serve as key hubs directing local county activities and educating individuals on how they can make a difference to keep Wyoming Wild and Beautiful. Learn about the services available in each district, find the office closest to you, and see what employment opportunities are available.
The Cost of Cutting Invasive Species Funding: Know What’s at Risk for Wyoming
Wyoming’s Weed & Pest Districts are the frontline defense against invasive annual grasses. When funding is reduced, control efforts fall behind—and invasive species spread fast. The result: increased wildfire risk, damaged rangeland, threats to agriculture and wildlife, and long-term costs that far exceed short-term savings. Sustained funding isn’t optional. It’s what keeps Wyoming protected. Learn more about what’s at stake and what must be done
