The Bonner County Noxious Weeds Department is a function required by state statute (Idaho Code - Title 22, Chapter 24). 

Our mission is to balance statutory requirements pertaining to noxious weeds (Idaho Code 22-2405 - County Duties), with service related compliance assistance for county citizens & land managers (Idaho Code 22-2407 - Landowner Duties).  Additionally, in accordance with Idaho Code 22-2405, we maintain ongoing efforts to examine land in the county for noxious weeds (listed in IDAPA Code 02.06.09) with a focus on detecting species of limited occurrence in Bonner County and implementing action in order to keep them from becoming widespread issues.  Operationally, we treat Bonner County managed properties & rights-of-way on a rotational basis in order to reduce noxious weed populations and prevent their spread.  Our services include weeds identification, technical assistance--which incorporates control recommendations, renting herbicide application equipment, facilitating cost share programs and providing public education (continuously throughout the year).
