POA WEED CONTROL
Weed Control
Santa Fe Trail Ranch has a legacy of aggressively controlling noxious weeds that can invade ranch property and rob the land of precious moisture. The POA provides herbicide that effectively controls various types of thistle, Mexican locust, Houndstongue, and Mullen when properly applied. The herbicide is provided to property owners in early spring and it can be applied throughout the growing season.
SFTR resident Carol Rawle just published a very informative article "A Thistle Wildfire" in Articles->Plants & Gardening.
Many property owners graciously volunteer to patrol assigned ranch road segments and apply herbicide as needed to control noxious weeks along roads/ditches and in the conservancy. As with all chemicals, personal protective equipment such as gloves and masks are recommended when applying this material.
The following map divides the ranch roads into numbered segments, and the volunteers who are currently signed up for the segments are shown in the table below the map.
Contact Bill Latham at 619-884-7682 or orangelatham@gmail.com for info on the POA-provided herbicide.
Contact Bill Nielsen at 360-977-8766 or wpnielsen@msn.com to sign up for road segments.
