The goal of the Juneau Cooperative Weed Management Area (JNU-CWMA) is to prevent the reproduction and spread of invasive weeds into the City and Borough of Juneau. The JNU-CWMA is a group of local agencies, tribes, non-profits, and municipal representatives who work together to prevent the spread of invasive weeds in Juneau.

Although we have been working together for several years on invasive weed issues, the JNU-CWMA was became a formal organization in 2009. Currently our main projects are working to eradicate a garlic mustard infestation behind the Governors mansion and conducting management research on Bohemian Knotweed at Twin Lakes Park. We are also working to develop a long term invasive weed management plan for Juneau.

The JNU-CWMA is always looking for new partners and volunteers. Please contact Dana White, Juneau Invasive Plants Coordinator for the Alaska Association of Conservation Districts, if you would like to become involved in our work at 586-6878 or at invasive.plants.jnu@gmail.com.
