| The Whitetop flower is a noxious weed. |
Mesa County encourages residents to be good stewards of our area by protecting and preserving lands and natural resources from the negative impact of invasive noxious weeds.
Noxious weeds aren't just annoyances in yards; they are invasive weeds with a competitive advantage over vegetation and displace native plants. Non-native plant species known as noxious weeds threaten our beautiful landscape's ecological integrity and biodiversity.
Our land is a source of scenic beauty, agriculture, recreational opportunities, and a habitat for wildlife — let's take care of it.
Noxious weeds have been determined by state or local governments to threaten local environments and have been placed on a Noxious Weed List. Click here to see the list.
