Nominations sought for noxious weed panel

Colorado Department of Agriculture

The Colorado Noxious Weed Advisory Committee, a link between the citizens of Colorado and the Colorado Department of Agriculture, is seeking nominations to fill four vacant positions representing an agricultural producer, a Resource, Industry or Environmental Specialist, and two at-large positions.

The primary responsibility of the committee is to discuss Colorado’s weed management challenges and craft solutions that best reflect public and private interests. The committee makes recommendations to the department concerning designation and classification of state noxious weeds; development and implementation of state weed management plans; and prescribed techniques for eradication, containment and suppression of state noxious weeds.

Nominations must be submitted through an online application form no later than Dec. 20. For more information, view the Noxious Weed Program’s Advisory Committee web page at https://ag.colorado.gov/conservation/noxious-weeds/advisory-committee.
