Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to protect all lands in Okanogan County from the
devastating impacts of non-native noxious weeds. We will promote the
control of invading noxious weeds through best management practices, using an
integrated weed management plan which will focus on prevention as the best
possible practice to avoid infestations of noxious weeds.
To achieve this goal, the Noxious Weed Office will provide education and
increase awareness among all landowners and managers within the County,
including Private, County, State, and Federal lands. We will work
collaboratively in a partnership to address the spread of non-native species
across jurisdictional boundaries.
The Noxious Weed Office will strive to achieve voluntary compliance with
State Weed Law RCW 17.10 and WAC 16–750. To that end, we will enhance our
public outreach and education efforts by providing educational classes and
brochures, free on-site consultations to aid in identification and control
options, in-office plant identification, public speaking services and other
services as needs arise.
