Noxious, non-native weeds pose a significant problem in Central Oregon. These invasive plants overrun native vegetation, destroy wildlife habitats, harbor pests, deplete limited water resources, infest crops, lower property values, and harm agriculture. The Deschutes SWCD collaborates with partners to combat and control noxious weeds across Deschutes County.
