In this episode, Matt speaks with Sam Holt, Programm and Education Specialist for Ada County Idaho's Weed, Pest, and Mosquito Abatement Department and with Joey Milan, Biological Control Specialist for the Bureau of Land Management about noxious weeds and invasive species. Together, they answer common questions and provide a lot of insight.
For example, did you know that there are laws that require you to take care of noxious weeds on your property? Did you know that in some counties your taxes are already paying for noxious weed services? Do you know when you should try to control noxious weeds?
There is a specific list of plants in Idaho and Oregon that are invasive and not native. These plants can push out native and agriculture plants harming the environment. Learn what you can do.
