| Impact Report | Noxious Weeds in Sugarite State Park The agent worked with park staff to organize a noxious weed in the parks presentation at the amphitheater. The agent presented to five participants on a Friday night before the hike of the park started the next morning. The agent focused on which plants were native and which plants were noxious weeds. The agent gave some examples of how noxious weeds spread and how hard they are to control once an infestation occurs. The agent gave examples of the different times that the plants will flower and seed and explained how some are annuals and bi-annuals. As a result many of the participants in the workshop were not locals and they reported that they have some of these noxious weeds in their respective areas and never realized that they were weeds. The agent also explained briefly about New Mexico’s process to purchase restricted used pesticides. |
