Larimer County Weed District summer hours begin in May; Herbicide purchase & landowner services available

FORT COLLINS – The Larimer County Weed District (LCWD), located at 2649 E. Mulberry, Suite #6, begins summer hours this May. The office will be open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and is in Fort Collins at the southwest corner of Summit View Drive and Mulberry Street.  LCWD services include recommendations on weed management, range and pasture restoration, herbicide sales, and weed identification. Free site visits and a cost share program are available if you reside within the LCWD boundary.

LCWD will not be selling any 2, 4-D products this year, including 2, 4-D, Rangestar and E-2, due to supply chain issues. Please call ahead at (970) 498-5768 before visiting to ensure the herbicide you need is in stock.

State statute mandates that all road rights-of-way be managed for noxious weeds. Roadsides are one of the most common ways noxious weeds are introduced into areas and spread onto adjacent lands. Landowners who prefer not to have herbicide applied on County rights-of-way property adjacent to their property can request a “Do Not Spray zone” online at www.larimer.gov/naturalresources/weeds/services, or if no internet access is available, call (970) 498-5768.

LCWD works with various agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, Colorado State Land Board and Colorado Parks and Wildlife, as well as farmers, ranchers, and other public and private landowners. Its goal is to maintain native ecosystems found in natural areas in Larimer County and prevent the spread of noxious weeds.
