Public WorksNoxious Weed Division
The Mission of the Yellowstone County Weed Department is to assist the public, private, and other government agencies to manage and control existing noxious weed infestations as well as to prevent new invasive species from infesting Yellowstone County.
Using integrated weed management approaches like educational, biological, chemical, cultural and mechanical methods, this mission can be accomplished.
SeasonalWeed Techs
Yellowstone County only hires Seasonal Weed Techs that are commercially licensed applicators through the Montana Department of Agriculture. In order to obtain this license our seasonal weed techs have to study and pass the National Pesticide Applicator Certification Core Exam as well as the Montana Department of Agriculture Right-of-Way and regulatory Weed Exam. Every Seasonal Weed Tech is required to pass these two exams to receive their license.
