Weeds
Boulder County noxious weed list
The Boulder County
weed management program is responsible for weed
control efforts on approximately 25,000 acres of Parks & Open Space
(POS) land designated as natural areas; 7,000 acres of POS agricultural
leased land that also serves as wildlife habitat, and 685 miles of
county maintained road right-of-way.
The
Boulder County Noxious Weed Management Plan guides all management
activities. The weed crew utilizes an integrated management approach consisting
of herbicide application, mowing, hand pulling, insect bio-control, and
cultural control. These are outlined in our
Weed Management Policies and
Procedures document. It must be recognized that not every tool can be
successfully used in every situation and there will be site-specific
needs that will require flexibility to achieve the best weed management.
Management is a challenge, as weed problems in Boulder County are as
varied as the county’s topography. Newly introduced weed species are a
constant concern, with an influx of people from all parts
of the country transporting weed seed by way of livestock and/or
vehicles. It is important that property owners on the upper ends of
Boulder County’s watersheds are aware of noxious weed issues and
actively control weeds as necessary.
The integrated management approach of noxious weeds in Boulder County
includes the use of herbicides. Concerned individuals can check here for
