Wasatch-Cache Noxious
Weeds
Just
as important as our native plants on the Wasatch-Cache National Forest,
are the impacts that noxious weeds have on both native and agricultural
lands. Knowing your weeds and what you can do to help control them
is a part of our mission here on the Wasatch-Cache. Weeds that we
know occur on this forest include, not only those currently listed on the
State noxious weed lists (Utah and Wyoming), but also some newly invading
species. All these know species are in the following table:
