In Boulder County, cheatgrass, common teasel, common mullein, musk thistle, and Dalmatian toadflax are only a few of the most problematic weeds. These plants easily spread their seeds from our hiking boots. Noxious weeds have prolific seed bearing to out-compete plants deer eat, overshadow tree seedlings turkeys feed on, and damage the biodiversity hikers enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The boot brush stations are located at the trailheads of Ron Stewart Preserve at Rabbit Mountain, Heil Valley Ranch, and Hall Ranch. Boot brushing isn\u2019t just for Parks &amp; Open Space trails either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invasive plants threaten our backcountry areas as well.\nInspecting your clothes and pet\u2019s paws and fur also helps stop the spread of\ninvasive seeds.
