Rogue Valley’s Most Wanted Weeds
These are priorities for Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR). With a concerted
effort, these weeds can be eradicated or controlled before they become well-established.
Invasive Weeds of Concern
These weeds are already well-established in the Rogue Valley. It’s probably not realistic
to completely eradicate them, but individual owners can help reduce their abundance, and
re-establish healthy native vegetation in areas of control.
