WY Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey

Detect Assess Respond Training (DART)

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.

DART trainings include the following:

  • Educating citizens of Wyoming to identify pests (insect, invertebrate, aquatics, and plant diseases) 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 cooperative agencies, to encourage rapid decision-making and response efforts regarding invasives.
