     In conjunction with FC Public 

Works Department the FCWB performs vegetation management on road shoulders annually. The task was completed between last fall and this spring. We would like to thank all the farmers who have stepped up and assist in spraying areas adjacent to their fields. Farmers have the option of opting out of the vegetation management program by signing an  "Owner Will Maintain Agreement" with the Public Works Department. Details and agreements are available on the Franklin County website and must be completed between October and December  31st to be in effect for the upcoming year. Click here for more details.   

We have a number of funded projects with agencies and private landowners we are currently working on. The newest tool in our toolbox is the use of drones for making herbicide applications. With rough terrain we have found drones to be very useful to navigate the harsh conditions. Check the website periodically for pictures of some of our work completed with drones.
