Recreationalists can help control noxious weeds to stop them from spreading. • Drive only on roads and trails away from noxious weed infested areas • Vehicles can carry noxious weeds from one area to another. Make sure to carefully clean ATVs, vehicles and trailers before taking them to a new area. even a few seeds can spread noxious weeds to new areas. • Remove weed seeds from dogs, hiking boots and other gear. • Report weed infestations to Okanogan County Noxious Weed Board, 509-422-7168.
