These non-native plant species destroy the land’s potential and impact many sectors of our economy, destroying wildlife habitat and lowering forage use, and adversely affecting hunting, fishing, livestock grazing, crop production, and other recreational and commercial uses. The spread of noxious weeds is on the rise, and occurrences of some of these noxious invaders are increasing. BLM is working in cooperation with federal and state agencies, county governments, and private landowners to identify and control these invasive plants before they degrade ecosystems and damage land productivity. Through inventories and weed prevention practices, BLM is helping to eliminate noxious weeds in Utah.

Noxious weeds are
increasing on western BLM administered lands at approximately 2300 acres per day, but it
is also important to remember that 95 percent of BLM administered lands are not yet
significantly infested.
