Are
Weeds Taking Over Your Backyard?

Weeds
are tough invaders that can quickly dominate your backyard.
These non-native, invasive plants crowd out native plants that
provide habitat
for wildlife
and some of them can harm you and your children and even your
pets. All
noxious weeds are hard to control and will only get worse if you
leave them alone. Join
Woodland Park Zoo and King County's Noxious Weed Control Program
to learn more about the threats noxious weeds pose, as well as
how to identify and eradicate
some of our area's worst noxious weeds.
