Overview

Allows natural resource conservation districts (NRCDs) to conduct research on eradicating invasive vegetation.

History

NRCDs are organized by local landowners to restore, conserve and protect natural resources, including land, water, wildlife and public lands (A.R.S. §§ 37-1001 and 37-1031). These districts can conduct surveys, investigations and research relating to soil character, soil erosion prevention within a farm or ranch, methods of cultivation, farm and range practices, seeding, eradicating noxious growths and any other measures that will aid farm and range operations. Further, NRCDs can enter into agreements with landowners, operators or the state or federal government to carry out programs in these areas on lands within a farm or ranch (A.R.S. § 37-1054(A)).
