County attacks Scotch broom



County Agricultural Commissioner Jeff Pylman intends to send a letter to the state department of Food and Agriculture asking for help to control the invasive and flammable plant, Scotch broom, from growing alongside county roadways.

“Scotch Broom poses a significant fire hazard by increasing fuel loading everywhere, especially along highways and in dry forest areas,” said county supervisor Hank Weston.

Last year, Pylman banned the sale of Scotch broom at area nurseries. .
