Latest version.
- The mission of the board is to serve as responsible stewards of Washington by protecting and preserving the land and resources from the degrading impact of noxious weeds.The board believes that prevention is the best approach and may be achieved through full implementation of the intent of the state noxious weed law. To further that, the board strives for enhanced public awareness through improved educational efforts.The board does not deal directly in control activities but rather works to achieve this end through others. For that reason, the board seeks to improve communication, gain cooperation, and improve coordination of the efforts for noxious weed control.The board believes noxious weed control is best carried out by strong, adequately funded programs at the local level. To achieve this, the board strives to build public support for local programs and to empower those programs to be more successful.[Statutory Authority: Chapter 17.10 RCW.
