WYLD WATCH
WYLD Watch is WWPC’s Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) initiative. This important strategy uses various methods to find new invasive species. When a new infestation is detected, we respond quickly. Responding fast is key to preventing invasive species from becoming established and widespread. Success often requires repeated monitoring and treatments. Think of it like spotting the first sparks before they ignite a wildfire. Wyoming’s incredible landscapes are always evolving, so vigilance is crucial against new invasive intruders. Detecting invaders early, or quickly reporting anything unusual, can make all the difference in helping to Keep Wyoming Wild & Beautiful!
When in doubt,
always report
You can play a key role in helping to keep Wyoming Wild & Beautiful. Look for invasive species, find anything that seems out of place and report it immediately to your local Weed & Pest office. Early identification helps to stop harmful intruders before they spread and cause lasting damage, ensuring that Wyoming remains a beautiful and pristine environment for outdoor enthusiasts and landowners.
