The Bureau of Land Management will conduct several noxious weed awareness sessions throughout Montana in May and June. The public is invited to attend. The 2-hour presentations will focus on the noxious weed problem and how employees and users of public lands can help stop or slow the spread of these invasive plants. Hank McNeel, State Weed and Pest Coordinator, and Lorrene Schardt, Environmental Education Coordinator, are the presenters. BLM administers more than 8 million acres of public land in Montana and the Dakotas.
Noxious weeds are a major concern on both public and private lands.
