Curious about what's popping up in your yard or kitchen?

You can call your local Extension office and fill out a plant or insect identification request form. An experienced agent will take a look at the physical specimen you bring in (inanimate and confined to a plastic baggie) and consult you as to what it is and what you can do about it.

Please also check out our online invasive plant profiles for photos and descriptions of common noxious weeds.
