Invasive Weeds
The
El Dorado County Noxious Weed Group (NWMG) was begun in 1998
as a coordinated approach to identify sites, develop responses
and
educate the public in more effectively reducing or eliminating
noxious weed infestations. A Memorandum of Understanding was
signed by 20
area organizations, businesses and agencies in an effort to coordinate
weed work and education throughout the county. NWMG Memorandum
of Understanding Integrated, invasive weed management programs include:
- Yellow Starthistle (YST) and Scotch
