Noxious Weed Control

Noxious weeds are described as any plant designated by a Federal, State or county government as injurious to public health, agriculture, recreation, wildlife or property. In Nebraska, you are legally required to control noxious weeds on your property. The common noxious weeds on the Nebraska State List include: Canada thistle, plumeless thistle, musk thistle, diffuse knapweed, spotted knapweed, leafy spurge, purple loosestrife and saltcedar. To help battle these invasive species the ULNRD provides cost share funds for treatment to landowners who reside within the District. Funds are available to cover 50% of the cost of approved chemicals up to $500 per landowner.
