July 11 (Sat) Day of the Oxeye daisy. 10-2pm Gilpin
Transfer Station. Bring in oxeye daisy from your property (pulled
up by the roots and bagged), and get a free plant or seeds in exchange!
There will be other weeds on display as well. There will also be
a volunteer oxeye daisy pull sponsored by the Volunteers for Outdoor
Colorado on the same day at East Portal from 8-1 pm. Come do something
great for the environment! There will be another oxeye pull on Aug
1 to get the later bloomers. To sign up, go to: www.voc.org.
Weed cost share program for Gilpin County residents
to control weeds on their property. If you have thistles, knapweeds,
oxeye daisy, and scentless chamomile, you can check out a new herbicide
called Milestone, which has a very low use rate, is labelled as
practically non-toxic (for people, bees, birds, and aquatics and
groundwater), and is not restricted use. The Extension Office will
have a bottle of Milestone and a sprayer available for checkout
at no charge. There will be a $100 dollar, fully refundable deposit
to ensure prompt return of the sprayer. If you don’t want
to do the work yourself, or have weeds for which Milestone is not
effective, we will be able to cover half the cost for a contractor
to come out (on a limited, first-come, first-serve basis).
