🌿 Important Update: 2026 Spraying Season

The Stark County W**d Control Board is shifting focus to roadside spraying this year, which means some changes for the Landowner Assistance Program (LAP).

✅ Cost-Share Still Available: Landowners can still get eligible herbicides at a reduced rate (70% County / 30% Landowner).
🗓️ New Process: All herbicide pickups are now BY APPOINTMENT ONLY DURING DESIGNATED PICKUP DATES.
🌱 Spring Window: The first pickup window runs from April 15 – May 22.

To get on the schedule, please submit your application to Jo at the office. We recommend booking early so you're ready to spray as soon as conditions are favorable!
