This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Join us for an informative talk on tackling Aquatic Noxious Weeds and the required applications and permitting for applying herbicides in and over water bodies.
We will be learning how to identify various aquatic & riparian weeds, what an NPEDS permit is and how to obtain one, then, after a short break, we will be hearing from WSDA representatives on how to apply for a WSDA Noxious Weed Control permit and how to navigate the SAW website.
There will be three pesticide license credits available for attendees.
If you would like to join us in person, we have reserved the lower-level BOCC room in the Chehalis Historic Courthouse.
Call or email Danika Davis with any questions or to register with your pesticide license number.
