Welcome to the homepage for non-native invasive plants (noxious weed) information for the
Pacific Northwest Region (R6).
From rare plant bogs of the Olympic peninsula to the rugged forested rangelands of Hells Canyon, the "biological wildfire" of non-native invasive plants impacts ecosystems in every National Forest in the Pacific Northwest. A diverse group of Forest Service weed warriors—range specialists, botanists, hydrologists, biologists, and resource managers—are committed to preventing and controlling weed infestations, and recovering ecosystems. This website will take you to the key documents that describe, guide and implement our programs; nationally, regionally and locally.
Noxious weeds don’t recognize administrative boundaries. We cooperate with other public and private organizations who are also committed to reducing the impacts of noxious weeds. National Forests rely on their assistance and resources to effectively and efficiently respond to noxious weeds. Visitors to this website can further link to a variety of websites of cooperators and scientific organizations that are supportive and informative to our National Forest programs.
