Noxious Weed Ordinance
Effective March 02, 2016, the Blaine County Board of Commissioners passed Noxious Weed Ordinance 2016:01 (PDF), prohibiting the sale, planting, or possession of Yew.

Many noxious weeds are pretty, but they quickly take over. Some of these plants are even poisonous, like Poison Hemlock which can be fatal to livestock if eaten.
