last updated: January 2023

The YCWMA promotes and coordinates efforts toward the management and control of the County’s noxious weeds through education and cooperation with landowners, agencies, organizations, and the general public. The group is led by the Yolo County Department of Agriculture and the Yolo County Resource Conservation District (Yolo RCD).

The YCWMA was formed in 1999 through a coordinated effort between federal, state, county, and local agencies, private industry, and landowners that were jointly concerned about the explosion of invasive plant species in Yolo County. The YCWMA has a strategic plan and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).

The YCWMA has carried out a number of successful projects, including: reducing perennial pepperweed and yellow star thistle infestations at Grasslands Regional Park to protect special status species, controlling small populations of CDFA rated noxious weeds, and establishing native grass along roadsides to prevent re-invasion. The Yolo RCD has most recently been involved with coordinating the outreach effort, including mapping known weed populations and hosting informational meetings, as well as some of the on the ground control of the target weeds.
