Ethan Proud, Archuleta County Weed and Pest Supervisor
Noxious weeds are invasive plants. They displace local agriculture and native vegetation and disrupt our ecosystems. We, as good stewards of the land (and by law), have a duty to manage noxious weeds on our property. Ethan joins us at an opportune time – just as we head outside and survey our property for spring clean-up. We also expect to have available copies of the new pocket handbook, Noxious Weeds of Colorado, 15th Edition, edited by Ethan with Alicia Doran for the Colorado Weed Management Association.
