Noxious Weeds
Got weeds? We can help control them on your property.
Wildfires, overgrazing, transportation corridors and ATV trail travel encourages noxious weed infestations that affect rangeland, forested areas and--ultimately--property values. We collaborate with public agencies and form partnerships with private landowners to establish a higher and more effective level of week control in Teller and Park Counties. Need us to do your spraying for you? Below an Integrated Pest Management chart of Weed Managment Prefrences for Teller and Park Counties will be coming soon.
Weeds can be managed several ways: biologically, chemically, culturally, and mechanically.

Noxious Weeds Cost Share Program
Teller-Park Conservation District makes every effort to assist landowners with weed management services. Each year, the district's board of supervisors sets aside a specific amount of money to help offset the cost of weed management services for private landowners. This year, the cost-share program provides a rebate for landowners up to 50% or $400 (whichever is greater) of their costs for spraying. This offer is only valid on spraying services provided by the Teller-Park Conservation District.
