Nevada's noxious weeds, in one place

Fifty-four plants are legally designated noxious weeds in Nevada. They crowd out forage, drink the water, feed wildfire, and push out wildlife. This site helps you recognize them, see where they have been found, and understand the work underway to stop them.

How Nevada classifies noxious weeds

Three categories. One goal: keep Nevada's land and water working.

Category A · Eradicate Not established or limited in Nevada. Any find is a target for complete removal. Report immediately.
Category B · Contain Established in some counties. The goal is to keep it from spreading further.
Category C · Manage Widespread. The goal is to suppress it where it threatens high-value land and water.
