Think you’re looking at tansy that needs to be reported? Take a closer look. There’s a native species that can be confused with tansy. Before you report common tansy or tansy ragwort, both Class B noxious w**ds, try to confirm that you’re not looking at native common yarrow.

Class B Noxious Weeds

Common tansy
🌱 Stem: Brown to reddish brown
🌱 Leaves: Divided into 4–13 pairs of finely toothed leaflets
🌱 Flowers: Yellow, button like flower heads

Tansy ragwort
🌼 Growth: Usually reach 2–4 feet tall, but can grow up to 6 feet
🌼 Leaves: Deep green, ruffled or lobed, often described as kale like, up to 8 inches long
🌼 Flowers: Bright yellow, daisy like blooms arranged in flat clusters
🌼 Seeds: Each plant can produce up to 150,000 seeds per year, which can remain viable in soil for 10+ years and spread easily by wind

Native Plant: Common Yarrow
🌱 Leaves: Soft, finely dissected, and feathery
🌱 Flowers: Dense clusters of many small blooms that can be white, pink, red, or yellow
🌱 Notes: Can appear like a w**d, but is also used in gardens for pollinators!

If you suspect that you have found a noxious w**d, please report it at clark.wa.gov/public-works/report-noxious-w**d-concern.

This National Public Works Week, we want to recognize our Parks and Nature Division.

From playground replacements to regional park upgrades, the Parks and Nature team takes pride in being stewards of some of Clark County’s greatest treasures.

In 2025, the division installed new shade structures at several parks, replaced turf at Luke Jensen Sports Park, paved parking lots, replaced the play equipment at Hazel Dell Community Park , and maintained more than 7,000 acres of parkland and natural areas.

Thank you for protecting the places where our community plays, explores, and connects with nature. 🌳🌼
