County of Barrhead works hard to deliver a sustainable weed control program that enhances effectiveness and efficiency of weed control in the County. The County uses an approved residual herbicide to achieve best results with minimal environmental impact, while following all Regulations.
Our weed control program covers all County-owned properties and Right-of-Ways in 3 seasons, while maintaining spot spraying throughout the County as needed. As indicated on the map below, County of Barrhead focuses weed control efforts as follows:
- Year 1: blanket Area 1, spot spray Areas 2 & 3
- Year 2: blanket Area 2, spot spray Areas 1 & 3
- Year 3: blanket Area 3, spot spray Areas 1 & 2
In 2025, we will begin spraying Area 1 in early June, and continue to work throughout the summer within the County. Weed inspectors will also be out during this time inspecting all areas within the County for Noxious and Prohibited Noxious weeds under legislated authority of the Alberta Weed Control Act.
Any questions can be directed to Don Medcke, Agricultural Fieldman, at 780-674-3331.
