Washington State: Designate Scotch Broom for Mandatory Control

Victory! The creator of this petition declared the campaign a success. You can still sign the petition to show support.

Designate Scotch Broom for mandatory control throughout Washington to require removal of plants to stop their spread.

Why is this important?

Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) is a Class B weed and displaces native and beneficial plants, causing loss of grassland and open forest. It aggressively spreads, replacing desirable forage grasses and young trees. Seeds are toxic to livestock and horses. For more info go to http://www.nwcb.wa.gov/detail.asp?weed=44#photos.
