Nominations sought for Noxious Weed Advisory Committee

The Colorado Noxious Weed Advisory Committee, a link between the citizens of Colorado and the Colorado Department of Agriculture, is seeking nominations to fill six vacant positions representing the interests of agricultural producers (3), a private landowner (1), a county weed manager (1) and an at-large member (1).

The primary responsibility of the committee is to discuss Colorado’s weed management challenges and craft solutions that best reflect public and private interests. The committee makes recommendations to the Department concerning designation and 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.

“The members of this committee play an important role in shaping Department and State policy concerning noxious weeds,” Noxious Weed Program Manager Patty York said. “Their recommendations help protect landowners, agricultural lands and the environment.”
