Lincoln County's Integrated Vegetation Program
As part of the County Road Department, the Vegetation Management Program utilizes Integrated Pest Management tools for control of vegetation along county roads and operates under the authority of the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners.
Lincoln County Road Department diligently maintains the vegetation on the rights-of-way in this beautiful part of Oregon. Regular maintenance is performed for driver safety, visibility, road shoulder and ditch integrity, as well as noxious weed control. Our approach integrates preventive, cultural, mechanical, chemical, and biological control measures.
The County uses mowing, brushing, grading, manual weed-pulling/cutting and location-specific treatment with herbicides. Indiscriminate road spraying is not utilized by Lincoln County. Noxious and invasive treatments are specifically applied by state-licensed and trained staff utilizing effective formulations and methods. Treatment may occur on the following county roads:

- We are no longer going to post roads with anticipated treatment dates as weather conditions frequently disrupt our scheduling and result in the need to re-post later, which is inefficient and causes confusion.
- We will continue to post roads with orange signs on the day of treatment.
