Noxious Weed Information
Douglas County utilizes integrated weed management techniques to combat noxious weeds. These techniques include biological control, hand pulling, revegetation to include use of competing grass seed mixes and herbicides. The County program places strong emphasis on education. As part of our ongoing effort, the County provides informational flyers detailing biology and control measures for many of the noxious weeds on the undesirable plant management plan.
