Invasive Plant Control

Here's information to help you learn about preventing problems with non-native invasive plants in Placer County. Some plants, like Yellow Starthistle, have become an ecological and economic problem for local farmers and landowners. We hope this information will help us avoid difficulties with other non-native invasive plants in the future. For further information and help with invasive plants, including Yellow Starthistle, call the Agriculture Department at 530-889-7372.
