The Dirty Dozen - Rangeland & Pasture Weeds
Rangeland and pasture weeds can present significant problems for ranchers and land managers. The following links provide information on identifying and managing the 12 most problematic weeds in our region. Most of this information is excerpted from Weed Control in Natural Areas in the Western United States (available from the Western Society of Weed Science or the California Invasive Plant Council). As you'll note, some weeds are grouped together (which means there are more than 12 weeds on the list!).
