    1- To address noxious weed management on the regional level with an integrated approach in cooperation with federal, state, county, municipal and private landowners.

    Example: A regional approach is the only effective way to address noxious weeds on the ecosystem level. Separate, isolated treatment plans may be contradictory and may not result in effective management.

    2- To treat infestations of noxious weeds and undesirable plants in order to allow native vegetation to re-establish.

    Example: Poison Oak, while a native species in many areas, presents safety issues in recreation areas on public lands and adjacent lands, and is removed as needed.

    3- To stop the spread of noxious weeds and undesirable plants into natural landscapes.

    Examples: Large efforts are underway to halt the spread of the escaped ornamental Flowering Rush on public lands.
