Leafy spurge growing along the roadside at Paul Lake, near Kamloops BC.
Noxious weeds are non-native plant species that are difficult to control. In the absence of their natural predators and diseases, these weeds aggressively compete with native plants for water and nutrients, threatening the health of natural and economic resources and the industries that they support.
The Southern Interior Weed Management Committee (SIWMC) is a registered charity comprised of volunteer members representing private & public agencies, clubs and organizations in the Thompson-Nicola Region of British Columbia. Members of the society are dedicated to increasing awareness of invasive plants and associated losses caused to the natural and domestic resources of our region.
