Invasive and Noxious Weeds

The state of Vermont has a noxious weed quarantine that regulates the importation, movement, sale, pocession, cultivation and/or distribution of certain noxious weeds.

Noxious weeds are plants in any stage of development, including parasitic plants whose presence whether direct or indirect, is detrimental to the environment, crops or other desirable plants,
