yi <br />J <br />Fremont County Weed Control <br />615 Macon Avenue <br />Canon City, Colorado 81212 <br />719-276-7317 <br />jphil@fremontco. com <br />8 ~ ~~~~ <br />March 12, 200 <br />RE ~ Control or Eradication of Noxious Weeds '3 ~ ~ C)ly <br />Land Manager, <br />Fremont County rand the Fremont County Weed Advisory Board appreciate <br />your cooperation and support of our recently revised Noxious Weed Controi <br />Program. Last year was a good year for weeds and a good year for increases <br />in control throughout our Two-County (Custer & Fremont) area. Our <br />successes in the future will require your continued support rand enhanced <br />communications in 2008 for stote-mondoted control of noxious weeds. <br />Due to increases in control efforts region-wide, I would greatly appreciate <br />your help in scheduling to benefit a greater number of cooperators. There <br />are literally millions of weeds, hundreds of Innd managers rand one fully <br />engaged Weed Manager. This year, I hope to help as rater season through <br />cost-share funding that we have acquired over the w <br />State and Federal Grant Programs. <br />To accomplish, as much control rand eradication possible, all weeds will be <br />scheduled for best contro/ timing to fit their growth cycles. For example, <br />White Top is an early emerging weed that requires our first attention in the <br />Spring. Musk Thistle grows at the same time as the Knapweeds, followed by <br />Canada thistle rand then Tamarisk in Irate Summer. Considerable research and <br />experience has shown that proper control scheduling reduces the amount of <br />time, effort rand expense. <br />Therefore, I have attached our modified "Land Manager Noxious Weed <br />Control Preferences" form for our enhanced use. This vent I ask each of <br />vu ~ v MJJVrr - <br />with a direct hone co//and discussion with me rat 719-276-7317. I want to <br />schedule all opportunities to control our local weeds and I greatly appreciate <br />your assistance. <br />J.R. Phillips Manager <br />
