Overview of the IANWCS
The Idaho Association of Weed Control Superintendents is a network of professional people consisting of Idaho’s County Weed Superintendents. The association is a non-profit organization and participation is voluntary. Until the establishment of IAWCS in 1982, there was no organization in Idaho that served the specific educational, professional development and networking needs of county Weed Superintendents.
The IAWCS mission statement is Empowering our professional county weed superintendents with the best available resources to enhance statewide collaboration for invasive plant management.
IAWCS has worked to promote cooperation, exchange information and provide education and resources to further success in noxious and invasive weed management in Idaho. Precise job-related training and hands-on activity are the primary focus, and serve as the main purpose of the organization.
