Weeds on Wood River Trails sprayed
The Blaine County Recreation District is beginning the battle against noxious weeds anew this spring. As directed by Idaho law, spot spraying along the Wood River Trails bike path will begin in the next few weeks, said Executive Director Wally Morgus. The Wood River Trails system runs 32 miles from Bellevue to Ketchum and up into Sun Valley. All spraying will be done in the early morning and areas affected will be clearly marked with signs. The chemical being used has a distinct odor that will linger for several days after being sprayed. Joggers and bikers are cautioned to keep pets out of treated areas until the odor is gone, Morgus said. Noxious weeds are plant species that are not indigenous to a given area and are harmful to native plants and animals.
