Rushskeleton Weed established throughout the West. It takes over native habitats,
(Chondrilla juncea) ruining it for big game species and other wildlife. Yellow
starthistle currently infests nearly 300,000 acres of Idaho wild
lands!
We need your help to keep it from spreading to new places.
How you can help:
• Drive only on roads and trails away from weed infested areas.
• Clean your machine. Make sure you carefully clean your ATV
or truck before taking it to a new area. Even a few seeds can

(Centaurea maculosa) • Remove weed seeds from your pack animals, dogs, hiking
boots and other gear.
• Carry only certified weed-free hay for pack animals.
• Report new weed infestations to your local county weed
superintendent located under County Government in the
phone book.
Pulling together, we can stop the spread of this deadly invader and
help protect big game habitat.
