	Current & Potential Economic Impacts of 10 Invasive Weed Species in Wyoming
	Publication #: B-1398 Date Published: 10/29/2024 Publication Author(s): Amy Nagler John Ritten Brian A. Mealor

Description:
The widespread and diverse negative impacts of invasive weeds on natural ecosystems of the western U.S. are often discussed in a general sense, but attempts to estimate specific economic impacts are not very common. In response to guidance from a diverse group of Wyoming stakeholders who developed the recommendations in the Governor’s Invasive Species Initiative Report, the Wyoming Weed and Pest Council and the University of Wyoming initiated the pilot study reported here to estimate current and potential future impacts of a subset of 10 invasive weed species on Wyoming’s agricultural sector with a specific focus on impacts to grazing resources.
