Initially the Board's activities were directed at providing public information concerning Tansy Ragwort. It also extended the terms of the Weed Board to December 31, 1991. In 1987, State Law RCW 17.10 underwent revisions that made it necessary to amend Whatcom County Code 2.27. A County Weed List is adopted annually through a public hearing process held early in the year. The time of the hearing is dependent upon the receipt of the Washington State Noxious Weed List, which is also adopted annually.
All meetings are open to the public and participation is welcome.
