Montana Noxious Weed Program
Weeds have a destructive impact on Montana's landscape by displacing native plant species, increasing soil erosion, and decreasing wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities.
Rangeland, pastureland, cropland, forests, and wildlands cover 92 million acres, 98% of the total land area, in Montana. These lands are vital for agricultural production and protecting the integrity of ecosystems.
The department's noxious weed programs assist with the managment of land- and water-based weeds on the Montana Noxious Weeds List. The Noxious Weed Trust Fund grant program, Noxious Weed Seed Free Forage certification program and the Biological Control Program assist counties, individuals, local communities, researchers, and educators in their efforts to solve noxious weed problems in Montana.
