Assisting public and local land managers to protect landscapes through science-based education and integrated weed and pest managment.

Resources and Services

Historically, representatives from Sublette County Weed & Pest have been active in our community by educating various groups on noxious weeds, herbicides, and early detection. We are available to identify mystery plants and insects as well. We lend equipment to land owners to assist in stopping the spread of invasive weeds.

Latest News 

Sublette County Weed and Pest along with our many partners will be conducting aerial cheatgrass treatment within Sublette County starting July 25th through Mid August.  Sublette County Weed and Pest’s contracted commercial applicator will be treating private land in the Pole Creek and Willow Lake areas as well as State Land along the East Fork and Scab Creek, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department's Soda Lake, Luke Lynch and Fall Creek WHMA’s, and United States Forest Services area of New Fork Lake. The Soda Lake WHMA treatments are scheduled from July 29-August 2nd. The New Fork treatments will be August 5th -9th.  These treatments will occur until complete and will be dependent on weather.  Please find an alternative place to recreate so that we can manage this invasive annual grass to protect native ecosystems. 

 

Cheatgrass is a non-native invasive annual grass that competes with native vegetation for resources.  It grows in the interspace between native plants where it competes for resources, causes an increase in fine fuels and fire frequency, and changes the landscape for sagebrush obligate species. This treatment is part of a landscape level project to control cheatgrass and limit its spread to protect native vegetation. 

 

Aerial treatment information can be found on our website at sublettecountyweed.com
