As Together to Stop the Spread, we dive into why Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) is one of the most effective tools in the fight against noxious weeds. Featuring Josh Wagoner with Montana Department of Agriculture and Amber Burch with Beaverhead County Weed District, the conversation brings together state and local perspectives on what’s actually happening on the ground in Montana.

From shifting away from reactive weed control to a more proactive EDRR approach, the episode explores how invasive species are spreading and why timing is everything when it comes to managing them. Josh and Amber share real-world insights on how weeds move across the landscape, what triggers action from “watch it” to “fight it,” and the true costs of waiting too long.
