Vancouver – Do you have a particular interest in managing pesky species of weeds in Clark County? Well, the county is seeking applicants for three positions on its Noxious Weed Control Board.
State law mandates eradication of certain noxious weeds, which are non-native species with limited distribution in Washington. For other categories of weeds, it’s up to local governments to determine how to manage them.
The five-person volunteer board advises the county council on policies regarding noxious weeds. The board positions are divided by geographic districts and the county is currently seeking individuals involved in agriculture to lend their insights.
To apply, call 360-397-6140 or write to Clark County Vegetation Management, Attn: Weed Board Coordinator, 1300 Franklin St., P.O. Box 9810, Vancouver 98666. More information can be found at www.clark.wa.gov/public-works/weed-board.
Applications are due Nov. 23 to the weed board office by 3 p.m.
