Nominations sought for Weed Advisory

Three positions within the State Noxious Weed Advisory Committee will become vacant in December. Nominations are now being sought to fill these important positions. The deadline to apply is Dec. 18.

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 then makes recommendations to the Colorado Department of Agriculture concerning designation and classification of state noxious weeds, development and implementation of state weed management plans, and prescribes techniques for eradication, containment and suppression of state noxious weeds.

The members of the committee play an important role in shaping CDA and state policy concerning noxious weeds. Their recommendations help protect landowners and the environment. The committee consists of 17 members who are appointed by the Commissioner of Agriculture.
