The importance of Noxious Weeds: Landowner responsibility

In Idaho it is every landowner and citizens responsibility to control and manage noxious weeds on their property required by State Law under Title 22 Chapter 24. Controlling Noxious Weeds requires an understanding of the problem beginning with identifying noxious weeds. Noxious weeds are an invasive species and can be found on the Idaho State Department of Agriculture website https://invasivespecies.idaho.gov/aquatic-plants and https://invasivespecies.idaho.gov/terrestrial-plants.

The cost to our State and local governments is in the millions of dollars annually, not to mention what it costs landowners yearly to control.

Noxious Weeds degrade public lands i.e., BLM and National Forests, wildlife habitats, block and choke steams and waterways, out growing our native plants, produces fire hazards rangelands and forests, detrimental to the health of livestock and humans, and overtaking recreation areas.

Noxious Weeds are the silent killers of our natural habitats and cause financial losses to crop growers. Noxious Weeds are major problems for urban, rural, private, state, and federal lands. Noxious weed species have no boundaries and when unmanaged they spread rapidly, unceasingly, and silently.

Noxious weeds pose a serious threat to all Idahoans and to the land we call home.

Booklets are available with information about the 67 noxious weeds in Idaho.
