Teton County Weed & Pest Control District (TCWP) is a statutorily mandated special district funded through a dedicated property tax mill levy. Governed by a board appointed by the county commission, TCWP operates independently of the county general fund to carry out invasive species management and vector-borne disease prevention. TCWP’s mission is to protect and restore ecosystem health while safeguarding public well-being. In 2025, the district employed 9 full-time staff and 16 seasonal employees, whose efforts are essential to field operations, monitoring, and community programs. Together, this team works to support a healthy environment and empowered community across Teton County.

Invasive species are a worldwide threat, posing danger not just to wildlife and our environment, but to agriculture, economies, and our very health. National Invasive Species Awareness Week (NISAW) is an annual campaign led by The North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) that’s dedicated to shining a spotlight on the widespread damage caused by invasive species and how we can work together to stop them.

At TCWP, we have a BSL- 2 (Biological Safety Level 2) lab that allows us to test for various pathogens in common vectors, including mosquitoes within 24-48 hours of collection for West Nile Virus and ticks for Colorado Tick Fever Virus (CTFV), and more. As the workload on our lab and team increases, so do the hazards. We’re proud of the safety protocols we have in place that protect our team and the community. Learn more about how Lab Safety keeps our team and mission running responsibly.
