Weed Prevention and Reporting
Noxious weeds are spread onto national forest lands when seeds are carried in and take root. Seeds can travel in on ATV’s, in hay and grain, pack animals and on trails or motor bikes. Once established, noxious weed seeds can be carried by wind and water, spreading across forest and agriculture lands. Some plants can produce thousands of seeds, which can remain viable for several years. Learn more: Weed Prevention and Reporting
