Noxious Weeds
Noxious weeds are introduced plants from other parts of the world that are not native to the area and out compete and displace native vegetation. Many were brought here for ornamentals, were in contaminated seed sources, world freight travels, etc. There are 67 weeds designated as “noxious” by the Idaho Department of Agriculture and 11 of these currently exist in and around the City of McCall. You may have seen recent weekly newspaper picture ads; Wanted Dead, Not Alive of some of the key noxious weeds in our area, including; spotted knapweed, yellow toadflax, houndstongue, and Canada thistle.
McCall City is part of the Upper Payette Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) and coordinates control work with Steve Anderson, Valley County Weed and Pest Control Agent and other CWMA members. The foundation for cooperative noxious weed control has been established and help is available through Valley County Weed and Pest Control. There are many opportunities for City individuals, landowners, etc. to capitalize on support provided by the County Weed Program. For example, Home Owner Associations can organize a ‘Spray Day’ and backpack sprayers, guidance and herbicide can be provided by the County.
McCall City has had an active noxious weed control program for the last several years. Their focus is to control weeds in City Parks, along bike paths/walkways, road R-O-Ws and City property. Very frequently, weeds on adjacent private land are not being controlled and they continue to provide a seed source for expanding infestations. It is a land owners duty and responsibility as per Idaho Code 22-2407(1) to control noxious weeds on their property.
