Help control noxious weeds in Clallam County by removing Scotch Broom on your property!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spring is the perfect time of year to remove these invasive weeds because the seed pods will soon mature and spread their seeds even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To remove these plants, Scotch Broom Weed Wrenches can be borrowed from the WSU Extension office. These tools grab onto the stem of a plant and pull the entire scotch broom plant from the soil, roots and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weed wrenches are loaned out from the Extension office for a $50 refundable cash deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our office is open Monday through Thursday and is located at:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1914 W 18th Street, Port Angeles, WA 98363<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To guarantee the availability of staff and check on our current tool inventory, please call us at 360-417-2279<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to thank everyone who has borrowed the weed wrenches!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your dedication to control the spread of this noxious weed throughout our county is much appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
