Noxious Weed Management

Noxious weeds are non-native, highly invasive plants that drive out native vegetation. Noxious weeds create monocultures that degrade healthy native habitats, eliminate forage for wildlife and reduce property values.

Each year, the Town of Mt. CB evaluates public and private property, developing management plans to control and eradicate invasive species. If you would like assistance with identifying noxious weeds and management strategies, the Town offers free on-site consultations throughout the summer. We encourage you to take advantage of free property evaluations, offered by knowledgeable town staff who can provide professional opinions on noxious weeds and help you comply with the town’s Noxious Weed Ordinance.

Weed Advisory Board
The Mt. CB Weed Advisory Board consist of 5 members that are appointed by the Town Council to advise on matters of noxious weed program direction. The next scheduled meeting is on Tuesday, July 5th at 11:00 AM at 911 Gothic Rd, Mt. Crested Butte in the Council Chambers. The meeting agenda is located at the bottom of this page.
