Nominations sought for noxious weed committee

Nominations will be accepted until Feb. 1 for the Colorado Noxious Weed Advisory Committee.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture hopes to fill six vacancies on the 17-member committee, including three members representing the interests of agriculture producers, a private landowner, county weed manager and at-large member.

The committee makes recommendations to the department about the classification and designation of noxious weeds, development and implementation of weed management plans and prescribed techniques to contain and eradicate weeds.
The committee meets quarterly. Members serve two-year terms.

Nominations must be submitted using an online application form. For additional information, visit the noxious weed program website at https://ag.colorado.gov/conservation/noxious-weeds/advisory-committee.
