What's a noxious weed?

Noxious weeds are aggressive plants that are not native to our area. They crowd out beneficial plants and create a "monoculture" of just themselves. They are often harmful to humans, livestock, wildlife, the environment or the economic well-being of the area.

The Idaho Weed Awareness Campaign web site provides additional information on the impact of noxious/invasive weeds to Idaho Lands and its' economy. The web site also includes a list of weed free hay producers.
