| Impact Report | Weed Mapping The agent worked with an individual from Princeton University to map invasive plants in Colfax County. The results will be comparable to other counties across the western United States. These maps are going to be collected from 700 counties in 15 western states. Twelve noxious weeds were selected and Colfax County has eight of them. Regional abundance maps are critically important for coordinating management between counties, states, and regions to raise awareness amongst the public and policy makers. The maps are also important research tools to understand the impacts of climate change on the distribution of invasive plants and how invasive risk might change in the future. |
