You Can Make A Difference

Invasive weeds affect us all – as homeowners, taxpayers, consumers, tourists, and land managers. Invasive weeds move in, take over, and are very difficult to control. They affect your neighborhood by:

• Costing you money for control
• Decreasing property values
• Ruining trails and parks
• Increasing fire danger
• Destroying wildlife habitat
• Reducing opportunities for hunting, fishing, camping, and other recreational activities
• Damaging water quality
• Ruining your view – and your enjoyment of your neighborhood
