Grand County Weed of the Week (WOW)

This summer, Grand County Natural Resources and Middle Park Conservation District are partnering to run Weed of the Week ads in the Sky-Hi News EVERY FRIDAY.  

Weed of the Week ads can also be viewed on our MPCD Facebook page.

Our goal is to increase public awareness about noxious weeds and provide recommended management actions.  

Each week, we will highlight a noxious weeds species known to occur in Grand County, CO, that is actively growing and/or blooming.

Be sure to grab a Sky-Hi Newspaper every Friday or view the E-edition online.

Below are the WOW ads so far this summer.
