THESE SPECIES MUST BE STOPPED Invasive and noxious weeds threaten Ontario’s plants and animals. They can be harmful to crops, livestock, humans and our natural environment. Under Ontario’s Weed Control Act , farmers and landowners have a legal obligation to manage noxious weed species on their property. Here are three things we need to know about controlling these threatening plant species: 3 All farmers and landowners have a responsibility to control noxious weeds on their property 3 We need access to the best herbicides and other methods to control these harmful weeds 3 It’s equally important for governments to control these weeds on public lands to prevent the spread and reduce harm We are all responsible to put the needs of farm workers, animals, our environment and all Ontarians ahead of noxious weeds.
