Contract Spray Services:
Local contractors are available at the landowner’s expense for noxious weed treatment. Contract spraying is also eligible for the Union County Cost Share Program. Here is a list of contractors Union County Weed Control suggests for both small and large-scale weed treatment:
Equipment Rental:
Rental equipment for private property weed treatment is available through the Union County Public Works Department- contact Doug Wright at 541- 963-1016 for more information.
Cooperative Weed Management:
Tri-County Cooperative Weed Management Area (CWMA) administers noxious weed treatment programs for over 8,000 square miles covering Union, Wallowa, and Baker Counties. Funding is provided through county contributions, BLM and USFS assistance agreements, and largely through state and federal grants. 
Current Union County noxious weed projects include leafy spurge and meadow hawkweed on both public and private lands. Information regarding these species are available in the Class A and Class B pages. Tri-County CWMA is currently treating these species within Union County and can be treated as a 50/50 cost share, or no cost to the landowner depending on the project area. Visit their website (tricountycwma.org) or find them on Facebook page (Tri-County CWMA) for contact information and recent updates on noxious weed treatments.
