Invasive Species

Tri-County Weed Control Program
The Tri-County Weed Control Program sponsored a "Logo Contest." Students from White Pine, Lincoln and Nye counties were asked to design a logo for use on the county weed control vehicles. Over 200 entries were received. Click here to view some of the posters that were submitted.

Invasive species are noxious weeds, insects, and plant diseases - non-native to Nevada - that raise havoc with the environment, economy, and public health. There are many types of invasive species throughout the Ely District. Noxious weeds are the most commonly seen invasive species.
