Noxious Weed Control Board
|
Each year, the State Noxious Weed Control Board adopts, by rule
(WAC 16-750), the State Noxious Weed List. This list determines
which plants will be considered noxious weeds and where control
will be required in Washington State. This approach allows
control activities of land owners - both public and private - to
be prioritized towards the protection and enhancement of
Washington's agriculture and natural areas in the most
cost-effective manner.
|
 |
Class A Noxious Weeds:
Non-native species that are limited in distribution in
Washington. State law requires that these weeds be
eradicated.
|
 |
Class B Noxious Weeds:
Non-native species that are either absent from or limited in
distribution in some portions of the state but very abundant in
other areas. The goals are to
contain the plants where they are already widespread
and prevent their spread into new areas.
|
 |
Class C Noxious Weeds:
Non-native plants that are already widespread in Washington
State. Counties can choose to enforce control, or they can
educate residents about controlling these noxious weeds.
|
| |
Monitor List Weeds:
Putting plants on
the Monitor List allows us to gather more information about them
such as their distribution in the State, observable impacts,
spread rate, etc.
