Learn to tackle noxious weeds at local farmers markets
June 7, 2011
By Staff
King County’s least-wanted offenders can be found in open spaces, and along roads and creeks. The invasive and noxious weeds can damage natural habitats and economic resources.
The county is offering a class and workshops throughout the spring and summer to help property owners find and control the rogue invaders, including displays at the Issaquah Farmers Market at 9 a.m. June 11 and the Sammamish Farmers Market at 4 p.m. June 15. Both local workshops continue during normal market hours.
The county program is part of a statewide effort to detect and respond to noxious weeds. In order to help protect the state’s resources, the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board adopts a statewide noxious weed list each year. Then, each county’s weed board then adopts a list of noxious weeds in need of control by property owners and public agencies.
