LCWMA Spray Days

The Lemhi CWMA Steering Committee has voted to NOT bring back spray days this year. If you have any questions please call the Lemhi Noxious Weed Department at (208) 742-1662

Cost Share Programs

There are three (3) Cost Share Programs set up throughout Lemhi County; Lemhi River Drainage Noxious Weeds, Carmen Drainage Noxious Weeds, and Pahsimeroi Valley Noxious Weeds. If you do not fall into these areas you do not qualify for these programs. All of these programs are set up as a 50/50 cost share. This means that any private landowner in these areas may hire who they want and after turning in the proper documents will be eligible for a 50% reimbursement of both labor and herbicide. Please check to see if funds are available. First come, First serve. In order to be considered for reimbursement you MUST:

• Show proof of payment and invoice

• Map (Google Earth or similar - no drawings) of area worked on

• Spray record showing what was sprayed (NOXIOUS weeds and chemical)

• Property must be located in Cost Share area

If you need any help with this please reach out to the Lemhi County Weed Department at (208) 742-1662

Youth Bio Control Collection

The Lemhi CWMA continues striving to diversify the way that noxious weeds are controlled in Lemhi County. One of the ways that we do this is with the Youth Bio Control Collection Day. Youth 16 and under assist CWMA members by collecting the bio control agent, Cyphocleonus achates. This is a root boring weevil that attacks the root of Spotted knapweed. Small plants can be killed by the larval feeding which can help the density of knapweed patches. The Youth are paid $0.50 per bug collected. Past participants have made $200+!! If you are interested in signing up for this please call the Lemhi County Weed Department at (208) 742-1662.

We have equipment that you can rent for a minimal cost to assist you in your efforts. Rentals are located at our office in the Brooklyn Annex at 200 Fulton St. Suite 104.
