This Plan provides <br />guidelines for managing designated noxious weeds. <br />Certain undesirable plants, primarily aggressive non-native invaders, constitute a threat <br />to the continuous economic and environmental value of the lands of Moffat County. <br />These species must be managed using integrated management techniques which are <br />least damaging to the environment and which are practical and economically <br />reasonable. Therefore, the noxious weed management plan is implemented to prevent, <br />or control, the spread of noxious weeds within the subject property and to prevent the <br />spreading of noxious weeds to adjoining properties. <br />GOAL <br />Prevention, early detection and early treatment are the most cost effective means for <br />weed control. <br />• Identify and contain, reduce or eradicate current weed infestations and reduce or <br />eliminate weed seed production in certain species. <br />• Monitor and treat new infestations and new invasive species so as to prevent <br />new encroachments on owner's and adjoining lands. <br />• Protect native plant ecosystems. <br />Noxious Weed Management Plan 1 <br />
