A FEW ​BRUSH AND TREE CONTROL METHODS

It can happen almost seemingly overnight.  The pasture was in balance with a good grass cover.  In the case of native rangeland, a balance of grasses, forbs, legumes and appropriate brush species.  And then all of a sudden, it is covered with brush, trees and many time invasive and noxious weeds.

OPTIONS - CONTACT THE OFFICE FOR SPECIFICS OF EACH METHOD

• Prescribed burn:  Burn at a time and method that controls or suppresses the undesired tree, brush, noxious or invasive plant.
• Intensive grazing:  Depending on the plant, cattle, sheep, goats and other animals can add in managing (small) plants.
• ​Cut with a chainsaw:  If plants are spotty this may be a good method.  
• Chemical:  Using a herbicide that is labelled for the target species.
