Montana's Statewide Noxious Weed Awareness
and Education Campaign

Mission Statement:

For the people of Montana to realize the economic and environmental impacts of noxious weeds, to become supportive of all aspects of noxious weed efforts, and implement integrated noxious weed management strategies across Montana.

Messages:

Explanation of a noxious weed.

Identification of individual plants and infestations.

Rationale: A noxious weed is a non-native, invasive plant that displaces desirable vegetation. The general public should know the identifying characteristics of the major noxious weeds of Montana and be able to identify infestations of spotted knapweed and leafy spurge.

How people are affected by noxious weeds.

Rationale: The general public should be aware that noxious weeds have negative effects on their health (allergies, poison), land values (in some areas), recreation (loss of wildlife habitat, limited access), lifestyle, aesthetics (loss of riverbank vegetation and native vegetation, water quality, heritage for future generations) and cultural aspects (Native Americans). The public should also know that their noxious weeds affect their neighbors.

How the environment is affected by noxious weeds.

Rationale: The general public must be aware that noxious weeds can cause increased soil erosion, loss of wildlife habitat, loss of native plants, loss of forage production, loss of plant diversity, threaten sensitive plant species, and alter natural fire cycles and ecosystem processes (e.g., nutrient cycling).

Why the general public needs to support all aspects of noxious weed efforts (including the Noxious Weed Trust Fund).

Rationale: The general public needs to support noxious weed efforts because of the human and environmental consequences of noxious weed invasion. The importance of preserving our natural heritage and being wise stewards of our resources is paramount. The general public should understand the consequences of doing nothing about noxious weeds.

What the general public can do.

Rationale: The general public needs to become leaders and/or advocates of noxious weed efforts. The public needs to provide political and economic support of leaders, develop ownership and become responsible land stewards, gain knowledge about weeds and weed management, develop cooperative methods fostering relationships between neighbors, support research, support state and federal agencies, and support the Noxious Weed Trust Fund, know what and where to report/get noxious weed information, and become active in the prevention of noxious weed spread.

Successful weed management programs in Montana.

Rationale: The general public should understand that weeds are a long-term complicated problem - but not insurmountable. Many groups (including programs funded by the Noxious Weed Trust Fund) have contributed to successful programs throughout Montana. Success requires cooperative efforts.

There are many ways to manage weeds.

Rationale: The general public should understand that the solutions to weed problems are diverse, long-term, and complicated. Integrated Weed Management suggests that a variety of strategies (biological, chemical, cultural) are necessary to manage weed problems economically for the long term.

Target Audiences

Messages that we believe will help the campaign achieve the mission are written to specific targeted audiences through the channels of communication that are appropriate for each audience. By communicating to the following targeted audiences we hope to reach all Montana citizens.

Public at Large (average citizen both urban and rural - every Montana citizen)
Youth, Educators of Youth, and Providers of Activities for Youth
Environmental Community
Government (county/state agencies and federal agencies and their employees, public officials)
Realtor estate licensees
Developers
Landowners (not including federal and state land managers)
Recreationists
Sportsmen
Tourists
Utilities
Transportation
Producers
Tribal Lands
Allotments
Residents on Reservations

Charter:

MONTANA STATEWIDE NOXIOUS WEED AWARENESS AND EDUCATION CHARTER

Background

Montana's natural resources are at risk from noxious weed invasion. This problem has been approached from a regional perspective by collaborating with federal agencies, local organizations, and individuals to achieve successful programs that protect our natural resources. Organized in 1995 as a sub-committee of the Montana Weed Control Association, the Statewide Noxious Weed Awareness and Education Group is progressively developing an integrated, cohesive education and awareness campaign strategy for the entire state of Montana. The Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund administered by the Montana Department of Agriculture provided funding for the development of the campaign which launched the beginning stages of implementation. The campaign has now begun an interagency funded strategy to disseminate diverse and educational information to the general public. Initial funding for the project is provided by the Center for Invasive Plant Management, Montana Trail Vehicle Riders Association Ethics and Education Grant – administered by Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, Montana Noxious Weed Trust Fund – administered by the Montana Department of Agriculture, Montana Department of Transportation, Montana State University College of Agriculture Department of Land Resources and Environmental Sciences, US Department of Interior - Bureau of Indian Affairs and Bureau of Land Management, US Department of Agriculture - Forest Service Northern Region, Forestry and Private Lands, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Dow AgroSciences, and Montana Farm Bureau Foundation.

Membership

Since 1982, a heightened concern over noxious weed issues by many agencies and organizations prompted action to develop and distribute educational materials about noxious weeds. Membership is open to all interested individuals, agencies, and organizations. The current membership is listed in Appendix I.

Purpose and Objectives

The Statewide Noxious Weed Awareness and Education Campaign Group developed a mission statement that reads "For the people of Montana to realize the economic and environmental impacts of noxious weeds, to become supportive of all aspects of noxious weed efforts, and to implement integrated weed management across the state."

Noxious weeds degrade our ecosystems by displacing plant and animal populations that are essential to the ecological and economic stability of our state. To preserve the natural heritage of Montana, it is clear that Montanans must dramatically increase efforts toward preventing the further invasion of noxious weeds, and develop/implement sustainable noxious weed management strategies. Therefore, it is critical that we all become aware of the threat of noxious weeds and how the people and the ecosystem will be impacted in the future.

The strategic campaign is designed to work for all state and federal agencies, local organizations, county weed management planners, and individuals in a coordinated effort to generate leaders and workers to protect our native wildlife and plant populations. The benefit of the campaign to all state and federal agencies is the effective use of combined dollars to reach a broader audience at less cost. A full-time campaign coordinator is in place to implement and provide consistency in this statewide campaign.

The Group initially focused on seven concise messages to be delivered to the general public and identified target audiences to channel these messages to. These messages are:

1) Explanation of noxious weed-identification of individual plants and infestations;

2) How people are affected by noxious weeds;

3) How the environment is affected by noxious weeds;

4) Why the general public needs to support all aspects of noxious weed efforts

(including the Noxious Weed Trust Fund);

5) What the general public can do;

6) Successful weed management program in Montana;

7) There are many ways to manage weeds.

Messages are being developed for specific actions that the general public can take.

Target audiences include:
government groups
utilities/transportation groups
public-at-large
conservation and environmental community
youth and youth education
recreationists, sportsmen, tourists / Lewis and Clark focus group
tribal nations, allotments, and reservations
realtors, developers, and small-tract landowners
producers

Tenure of Team Members and Their Responsibilities

The Group Partners will be represented by members of their organization on a continuous basis. The Partner Group will have the capability of increasing/decreasing its membership to meet the needs of the mission.
