Noxious weeds are non-native, invasive plants that threaten public health, the environment, wildlife, and recreational areas. They can also reduce diversity in impacted ecosystems, wildlife habitat, and the quality of hay, forage, and other agricultural products. Noxious weeds can be toxic, increase the risk and intensity of wildfires, and increase the cost of roads and building maintenance. 

Our Mission
