The CAPS State Survey Committee in Utah serves as an advisory group for CAPS survey activities in the state. Committee members meet as needed throughout the year to provide input on upcoming exotic pest surveys, discuss survey results, and share relevant information to interested parties, such as USU Extension, the Bureau of Land Management, the Utah State Horticultural Association, and the Utah Nursery and Landscape Association.
