Integrated Vegetation Management

Integrated Vegetation Management (IVM) is a program aimed at controlling regulated weeds and maintaining the health of public spaces and infrastructure through a variety of management techniques.

Key components include:

• Free Weed Spraying Services: The County offers free regulated weed spraying to help manage small infestations — you can sign up here!
• Roadside Weed Control: Annual mowing of right-of-way vegetation and rotational herbicide applications help keep roads clear and safe.
• Drainage Ditches: Mowing of drainage ditches ensures effective water runoff and prevents infrastructure damage, especially during spring months.

These efforts help preserve infrastructure, reduce the spread of invasive species, and improve the overall health of local environments.
