It is in the best interest of all landowners in Fremont County to manage or control noxious weeds. The effect of noxious weeds on property values, agricultural productivity including native plants and animals is well documented. Non-native invasive species displace or compete with crops and native plants, usurp water otherwise used by desirable plants and numerous agricultural, domestic and recreational uses. Many of these weeds reproduce profusely in the absence of their natural predators while costing billions of dollars in lost agricultural crop production and animal harm each year nationwide.

State law (CRS 35-5.5-101 et seq.) requires all landowners to manage noxious weeds on their property. Fremont County has adopted a Noxious Weed Management Plan and noxious weeds are being aggressively managed on County road rights-of-way the cities of Florence and Canon City and through the efforts of conscientious local landowners and managers. This Plan extends the responsibility of weed management to private landowners within the unincorporated County and establishes a grant-funded Cost Share program to assist landowners with the costs of noxious weed control.
