Overview

The Wyoming State Legislature enacted the Wyoming Weed and Pest Control Act in 1973. The Act legitimately established each Wyoming County as a Weed and Pest Control District.

The districts are designed to serve you and are primarily financed by your local tax dollars.

A board of directors composed of seven members governs the Weed and Pest District. Members are appointed by the respective County Commissioners and serve their county without pay. They do receive mileage and are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.

The board of directors holds monthly public meetings to discuss district business. You are encouraged to attend!

Sheridan County Weed & Pest Control District is geared to meet specific weed or pest needs in the county.

The major function of the district is to implement effective prevention, containment, and weed and pest management programs on all lands within the district. Professionally trained individuals are there to help you set up your individual weed or pest program.

Special programs were also created under the Act, such as the Weed and Pest Special Management Program. This program utilizes an Integrated Management System, which exercises all proven methods for preventing, containing, or controlling specific plants or pests.

The district strives to achieve the best management with minimal environmental damage by employing Integrated Management Systems that take into consideration:
  1. The most efficient and effective methods
  2. Scientific evidence and current technology
  3. Physiology and habitat of the site
  4. The economic, social, and ecological consequences of the program
  5. The economic considerations

If you would like to become actively involved in saving our land from noxious weeds, please contact your Weed and Pest Control District supervisor.
