The Yakima County Noxious Weed Board launched its 50th annual campaign to help landowners control invasive weeds on private and public land.
The campaign, announced by board member Susan Bird, aims to support landowners in identifying and managing noxious weeds that threaten local ecosystems and agriculture. The board has provided this service for five decades, with the 2026 campaign marking its golden anniversary.
The board will offer resources and guidance to property owners on weed identification and removal methods. The program is part of ongoing efforts to protect Yakima's agricultural lands and natural habitats from invasive species that can harm crops and native plant communities.
