What do we have planned for the future of the monitoring toolbox?
The tested and finalized version of the toolbox with be provided to the Montana Department of Agriculture (MDA) Noxious Weed Program to implement state-wide. This collaborative project with Montana State University, Noxious Weed Trust Fund, Park County Environment Council, and MDA is not only making monitoring more accessible but also creating a standard method for monitoring with centralized data storage collecting valuable data on the efficacy of noxious weed treatments on a larger scale.
