Invasive Plant Grants

The 2017 grant application process is now closed.

Invasive and noxious plants are a major threat across the state of Arizona. They recognize no borders and occur across all land ownerships. Invasive and noxious plants change the natural fire regime, alter watersheds, out-compete native vegetation and crops, and destroy the natural beauty of the Arizona landscape.

The Invasive Plant Grant Program focuses on prevention, control, and eradication of invasive and noxious plants and aims to achieve the following objectives:

Target and treat invasive and noxious plants that are capable of transforming plant communities in forests, woodlands, and rangeland.
Increase local capacity to manage and prevent encroachment of invasive and noxious weeds through Cooperative Weed Management Areas (CWMA), partnerships, and coalitions.
Use an integrated weed management approach to treating areas infested with invasive and noxious plants. Utilize a combination of available tools including manual, cultural, mechanical, herbicides, and biological control.

Eligible Applicants:

Units of local government (counties, municipalities, cities and towns)
Non-Profit Organizations 501(c)3
