Members are appointed by the department director. They provide guidance on the Noxious Weed Trust Fund grant program that assists counties, local communities, tribes, researchers and educators in efforts to combat the most serious weed problems in Montana.
Two other boards play a role in halting the spread of noxious weeds. The Noxious Weed Summit Advisory Committee, appointed by the governor, provides guidance on weed policy issues. The Noxious Weed Seed Free Forage Program certifies weed-free forage for sale under a program to prevent the spread of weeds on public and private land.
