The Central Sierra Partnership Against Weeds (CSPAW) is a collection of agencies, organizations, companies, and private citizens committed to collaborate in activities to prevent and control noxious weeds in Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties.

Across California, invasive plants damage wildlands. Invasive plants displace native plants and wildlife, increase wildfire and flood danger, consume valuable water, degrade recreational opportunities, and destroy productive range and timber lands. Cal-IPC works with land managers, researchers, concerned citizens, and policy makers to protect the state from invasive plants.
