Rural Roadside Vegetation Control Program

Strathcona County's annual Rural Roadside Vegetation Control Program controls weeds, brush and trees on rural roadsides and in municipal reserves.

Weeds include plants designated as noxious and prohibited noxious under the Alberta Weed Act, and they are controlled to prevent their spread onto adjacent property. Brush and trees are controlled to improve sightlines and visibility at intersections and long the roadside, to increase efficiency during snow clearing in winter, and to improve drainage.

Strathcona County uses an integrated management strategy that involves prevention, identification, monitoring and controlling undesirable vegetation. All County maintained rights-of-way are treated where required each year, using a variety of mechanical techniques and herbicides to ensure a healthy plant community.

This program adheres to industry standards provided by Alberta Environment and Parks and the Professional Vegetation Managers Association of Alberta.

Please note that vegetation control on primary and secondary highways is the responsibility of Alberta Transportation. View a complete listing of primary and secondary highways in Strathcona County.

Landowner Option Program 

Rural residents in Strathcona County who do not wish to have herbicide applied to the roadside adjacent to their property can sign up for Strathcona County’s Landowner Option Program (LOP). Once enrolled in the program, landowners assume the responsibility of noxious weed, prohibited noxious weed and brush control. 

To learn more, or to take part in the program, please contact Transportation and Agriculture Services at 780-417-7100.
