Fall is one of the best seasons in Montana with warm days, cool mornings and beautiful colors. Did you know that w**d management, particularly spraying, can be super effective for management and control?

W**d spraying works very well for noxious w**ds in Montana because plants move food and nutrients down to their roots before winter, carrying the chemical deep underground for a complete kill. This can be especially true for leafy spurge and field bindw**d as their extensive and deep root systems are hard to get to.

For the next couple of weeks, we'll talk about which w**ds are blooming and re-sprouting in the fall. These are the noxious w**ds to be aware of and to manage before winter hits.

This beautiful photo was taken by MWCA member and Flathead County's Noxious W**d Education Coordinator, Joel Jinings. This photo is also featured in our 2027 Scenic calendar.

We are shifting the annual Tri-County Range and W**d Tour to September. We are hoping the shift will provide us with some more comfortable temperatures in the field! Tentatively we are looking at September 10 as the date for the Tour.

The Tri-County tour has taken place annually at the intersection of Prairie, Fallon, and Wibaux counties since the 1990’s. We look forward to sharing more great educational topics in a hands-on environment this fall!

We anticipate being able to offer at least 3 private pesticide applicator credits for the tour.
