UP Collaborative Restoration Project
The Paradox Weed Management Area (WMA) is approximately 116,000 acres located in western Colorado. The WMA is in Montrose County and lies west of the San Miguel and Lower Dolores Rivers and extends westward across the Paradox Valley. Paradox Valley is oriented southeast to northwest, with the Dolores River flowing perpendicular to the valley, dissecting it in the middle. The valley is framed by the high, sloping mesa country of Monogram, Davis and Nyswonger Mesas to the southwest and by Sawtooth Ridge and Carpenter Ridge to the northeast. The area boarders the Manti La Sal National Forest on the north and extends 28 miles across the Paradox Valley to its hydrologic divide on the south.
