Program/Service Notes:

This program is comprised of two, separate sub-programs. The roadside weed control function fulfills six needs: Reduces cost of road maintenance; Increases safety; Helps prevent wildlife losses; Reduces fire hazards; Reduces harborage for crop-attacking insects and diseases; Helps prevent invasion of cropland by noxious weeds. The last two items help reduce pesticide usage and possible quarantine action against a grower's crop. The second sub-program is Pest Eradication. There are 22 different noxious weed species under eradication throughout the county. The majority of the weed species are listed as `A' rated weeds by the state, and are of limited distribution in the state. There are other weeds under eradication that are common in part of the county but have limited distribution in other parts of the county. Examples are `Yellow Star Thistle' and `Marlahan Mustard’, which are widely spread in Shasta and Scott Valleys, but of rare occurrence in Butte Valley and Tulelake. Bio-control is used whenever possible in the vegetation management programs. We are always looking for less intrusive means to control unwanted pests.
