Stop the Spread of Noxious Weeds

Noxious weeds degrade wildlife habitat, reducing forage availability and making access difficult for hunters. Hunters unknowingly contribute to the spread of invasive plant species by carrying seeds on their clothing, gear, and vehicles.

To prevent the spread of noxious weeds, thoroughly wash the undercarriage and tires of vehicles before and after hunting, and throw any seeds stuck to clothing, gear, or animals in campfires to burn. Avoid walking through Houndstongue and Burdock, as the seeds will stick to your clothing.
