Welcome to the Noxious Weed Control Program at ODA!
edrr
The Noxious Weed Control Program exists within the Plant Division of the Department of Agriculture. The program operates to fulfill part of the Department's mission to protect Oregon's agricultural industry and natural resources by preventing and limiting the spread and impact of invasive exotic plant species (noxious weeds) which displace and compete with native and desirable domestic plant species. These invasive plants affect all Oregonians directly or indirectly through impacts on agricultural and forest economies and on other resources such as fish, wildlife, recreation and overall watershed health.

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.
