Noxious Weed Management

Clark County Native Plant Restoration

We have a Report a Noxious Weed form available online.  Please provide a location and in-focus, close-up photos of the flowers and leaves. Also please show scale in at least one photo with a standard-sized object such as a coin. We will prioritize responding to reports that include photos.

Due to current staffing shortages, Clark County will provide reduced weed free forage inspections for the foreseeable future. Please call as far ahead of cutting time as possible, and if we are unable to help you in time, please refer to the WSDA website for more information about using state inspectors.

If you or your neighbors have a problem with noxious weeds, email weed.management@clark.wa.gov or call 564.397.6140.

The resources listed below will help you identify some common noxious weeds and business that help with removal:


Get Involved!

Clark County Noxious Weed ManagementWashington State Noxious Weed Control Board and the Washington Invasive Species Council are trusted resources.

Clean hiking boots, waders, boats and trailers, off-road vehicles and other gear to stop invasive species from hitching a ride to a new location. Learn more at PlayCleanGo.org.

Avoid dumping aquariums or live bait into waterways. Learn more at Washington Invasive Species Council.

Don't move firewood. Instead, buy it where you'll burn it or gather it on-site when permitted. Learn more at DontMoveFirewood.org.

Use forage, hay, mulch and soil that are certified as "weed free."

Plant only non-invasive vegetation in your garden and remove any known invaders.

Report new or expanded invasive species outbreaks to authorities. Here is how to Report a Sighting.

Volunteer to help remove invasive species from public lands and natural areas.

Ask your political representatives at the state, local and national level to support invasive species control efforts.​​
