Description

The international community of practice for remote detection of weeds (WRS COP) was set up in 2022 as part of the project "The Weed Managers Guide to Remote Detection". The COP spans four countries and engages interested land managers, researchers and agency staff to come on board and share information and imagery. Members work together to trial technology on other weeds and determine future research pathways, facilitating growth and improvement in the use of this technology for weed detection across Australia.

A member survey was used to elucidate member preferences for COP arrangements and to inform future development. Meetings were set quarterly, including speaker presentations and networking discussions, and include face-to-face conference forums. Currently, there are 200 members located across Australia, New Zealand, Inner Mongolia and the UK. (Kelly, J., 21 Feb 2024)
