 DART Program
Detect Assess Respond Training
The DART Program is part of Wyoming's Early Detection - Rapid Response Pest Detection Program. The DART Program sessions are put on through a collaboration of the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Wyoming Pest Detection Program, University of Wyoming, USDA - APHIS - PPQ, and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
The goal of the DART Program is to create a NETWORK of eyes, that work toward the common goal of defending Wyoming from invasive pests through:
- Educating citizens of Wyoming on how to identify weed, insect and disease pests that are currently in the state, as well as identify new invasive pests.
- Providing guidance and a mechanism for reporting pest observations.
- Providing pest observation reports and alerts to land-managers and pertinent agencies, to allow for more rapid decision-making and response efforts.
