CWMA- Controlling Invasives

The Lake Erie Cooperative Weed Management Area (LECWMA) was formed in 2010 and it was all about collaborations. From 2010 through 2016 the LECWMA (referred to as CWMA) was instrumental in delivering over 10,000 acres of invasive species management for landowners primarily in Otawa, Sandusky, Erie and Lucas counties.

In addition, educational materials were developed, an equipment loan program started, and Steering Committee members were active in professional circles attending conferences and networking to engage partners and develop the progress.

Under the leadership of Mr. Adam Saylor, grants are being pursued and landowners approached to develop long-term programs to control invasive species.
