Biocontrol makes a difference.
Montana Biological Weed Control Coordination Project (MTBCP) is a grassroots effort created to provide the leadership, coordination, and education necessary to enable land managers across Montana to successfully incorporate biological weed control into their noxious weed management programs.
-
Our programs are designed to make biocontrol accessible and to help land managers successfully implement biocontrol programs as part of integrated weed management.
