Hunters can help stop
spread of noxious plant
Hunters can help in several
ways to prevent the spread of
tansy ragwort in Eastern
Oregon, says the Oregon De
partment of Fish and Wildlife
in Portland. This noxious
plant, common in western
Oregon, has only been found
east of the Cascades in recent
years.
It is poisonous to some
species of livestock and efforts

are being made to eliminate
the plant when it is found and
to prevent further introduc
tion. Hunters who see tansy rag
wort in Eastern Oregon are
asked by the Department of
Fish and Wildlife to report the
location to department biolo
gist. State Police, the U.S.
Forest Service. Bureau of
Land Management. State
Forestry Department, or
county extension offices.
Last year 122 tansy sites
were located in northeasdt
Oregon alone. 17 of them
reinfestations from the pre
vious year. The first siting of
tansy in Eastern Oregon oc
curred in 1969.
About two-thirds of all sit
ings have been close to camp
ing areas, and many of them
in popular hunting spots. Hun
ters who see tansy plants can
help stamp it out by clipping
flowering plants off just below
the topmost flowering head.
The clipped portion should be
placed in a plastic bag and
later burned. The clipping will
cause the plant to put on a
spurt of new growth but there
will not be enough time for the
plant to grow new flowering
heads and seeds before frost
kills the plant.
Plants should not be pulled
up by the roots since they can
regenerate from any roots left
underground. And the accu
rate location should be repor
ted to any of the agencies
listed above so further action
and followup checks can be
made.
Some infestations have been
traced directly to hunters who
bring contaminated hay from
western Oregon to feed riding
and pack animals, or to insu
late tent floors.
Hunters are asked to buy
hay after they arrive in Eas
tern Oregon or to feed their
animals pelleted rations.
Stock should be fed pelleted
food or tansy-free hay for at
least 48 hours before transport
to Eastern Oregon to insure
tansy will not be spread in
their manure.
Tansy is identified by its
lacy leaves and clusters of
yellow, daisy -like flowers near
the top. In Australia the plant
is called "stinking Willy" be
cause the leaves have a dis
tinctive odor.
Hay. straw and pelleted feed
can be purchased from many
outlets throughout Eastern
Oregon.
