You may have noticed that the garlic mustard along the county roads is beginning to die. Multnomah County is working on garlic mustard control in the right-of-way along their roads in District 5. The weather is helping them get caught up too. We've had a number of calls about the garlic mustard along Corbett Hill Road, and the County got to it last week.
The first phase of control work in the right-of-way along the Historic Columbia River Highway is complete! Thank you all for your patience. In a few weeks, we will be back out there with a crew hand pulling any flowering plants in the right-of-way that were missed the first time around.

Welcome to our weed control blog. The wonderful volunteer crews in Corbett asked us to create this blog to give you updates on our weed control projects. Of course, we will begin with the dreaded garlic mustard. If you are not familar with this plant, there is information about the plant and our control project page.

Garlic mustard update 5/11/2010: The weather is finally cooperating and we are getting caught up. We hired a crew from Wasco County to help us work on the Historic Columbia River Highway. The work began on Friday and we should finish today. We are only working in the right-of-way in the Corbett/Springdale area.

Thank you volunteers, Clackamas Community College, and Happy Fish Restoration for helping to get over 10,000 native plants in the the hands (and yards) of area residents.
