Action | Amend noxious weed list |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 12/8/2023 |
I support the action to add 12 non-native plants to the noxious weeds list. It is high time that these and many others, such as English ivy, are considered noxious and sale is prohibited within Virginia. The toll taken by these plants on the native environment is increasing because of their competitive advantage and is resulting in a growing burden to the taxpayer. This regulatory action is highly appropriate and protective.
