Nominations sought for Colorado Noxious Weed Advisory Committee

The Colorado Department of Agriculture is seeking nominations to fill three important positions on the state Noxious Weed Advisory Committee. The 17 members of the committee are appointed by the commissioner of agriculture and play an important role in shaping CDA and state policy concerning noxious weeds. Their recommendations help protect landowners, agricultural lands and the environment.

The primary responsibility of the committee is to discuss Colorado’s weed management challenges and craft solutions that best reflect public and private interests. It then makes recommendations to CDA concerning designation of state noxious weeds; classification of state noxious weeds; development and implementation of state weed management plans; and prescribed techniques for eradication, containment and suppression of state noxious weeds.

Members meet quarterly at CDA’s Broomfield office, with at least one field trip and meeting outside of the Denver area annually. Terms are two years in length, and appointees are limited to two full consecutive terms each.
