2009 invasive plant and noxious weed surveys in the Middle Fork and South Fork Snoqualmie River basins

2009 Map of Weeds in Middle and South Fork Snoqualmie Basins - click to download mapThis map shows locations of invasive plants and noxious weeds identified by the Upper Snoqualmie Watershed Invasive Weed Control Project, a cooperative weed management partnership of the King County Noxious Weed Control Program, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Weed surveys were achieved through a combination of Noxious Weed Program staff, Greenway staff, trained Weed Watcher volunteers, and the 2009 participants of the WSU Extension Youth Environmental Leadership Institute program. Some of the widespread species were only recorded in areas where they were less abundant. Some of the species included in the survey are not on the Washington State Noxious Weed List but do appear to be invasive in this watershed.
