Thurston County Noxious Weed Control (Washington).
The species listed are known to be present or have the potential to infest Thurston County. It is approved and updated annually by the Thurston County Weed Board.
The Washington State noxious weed list is updated every year, and all Washington residents can submit proposals to add or remove species, change the class of a listed noxious weed, or to change the designated area in which control is required for a Class B noxious weed. Anyone, including citizens, tribes, organizations, government agencies, and county noxious weed control boards may participate in the listing process by submitting a proposal or by submitting testimony about proposed changes to the noxious weed list. In fact, Washington's open, inclusive listing process is lauded by other states for its encouragement of public participation. Learn more about the listing process here.
The Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board is tasked with maintaining and updating the official list of noxious weeds that landowners may be required to control.
