ODA Plant Programs

  • Welcome to the Plant Program Area at ODA!

    The Plant Program Area includes four sections: Insect Pest Prevention & Management, Native Plant Conservation, Noxious Weed Control, and Nursery & Christmas Tree. The programs protect Oregon's agricultural industries and natural environment from harmful plant pests, diseases and noxious weeds; enhance the value and marketability of exported nursery stock, Christmas trees, seeds and other agricultural products; and further the conservation of threatened and endangered plants.

New improved Oregon WeedMapper (beta)
WeedMapper.org has become Oregon WeedMapper to improve your noxious weed mapping and management capabilities. You can expect a program in which you can access all the same data but with new tools that allow you to work with noxious weed data as never before. The new mapping platform will give you access to layers relevant to weed management such as roads, rivers, Cooperative Weed Management Area boundaries and more in combination with the ability to draw lines and polygons on your maps to be saved, printed or shared. In addition, the data that comprises the entirety of the known weed sites to ODA can now be downloaded for your own use in your Geographic Information Systems.
