Montana Weed Control Association

The first Montana Weed Management Plan was developed in 1985 and was presented by the Montana State Weed Coordinator at the Montana Weed Control Association meeting in January, 1986.

• It highlighted state-listed noxious weeds
• Land manager responsibilities
• priority weeds for management across the state

In addition, it supported new [1985] county requirements in the County Noxious Weed Control Act specifying weed management plans at the county level. (more…)

Greetings,

The Montana Department of Transportation’s Roadside Vegetation Management Plan is the implementation of Governor Schweitzer’s Montana Weed Management Plan. A cornerstone of our weed management plan is education to increase awareness of real and potential impacts to Montana’s heritage.

Vehicles traveling along Montana’s highways play an active role in the dispersal of noxious weeds. These non-native plants are jeopardizing Montana’s future for recreation, agricultural productivity, and economic prosperity. MDT’s plan provides specific actions to ensure healthy and diverse vegetation along Montana’s roadsides.

I am pleased to offer the Roadside Vegetation Management Plan to all Montanans as we work together to ensure a balanced and diverse landscape for today and future generations.

Sincerely,

Jim Lynch
Director Montana Department of Transportation
