Giant Hogweed Report
Use this form to report
a possible giant hogweed site in Massachusetts. The information you provide
will be reviewed to determine the likelihood that the plant is giant hogweed.
All reports will be followed up by a Massachusetts Department of Agricultural
Resources official, and you may be contacted by a state inspector for a site
visit if we feel further investigation is necessary. We thank you for your
assistance with preventing the establishment of giant hogweed in our state.
(Note: This form is for Massachusetts hogweed sightings only. To
report hogweed outside of Massachusetts, contact your local department of
agriculture or plant regulatory official)
