Chipman trail to be sprayed

The Bill Chipman Palouse Trail will be sprayed for noxious weeds beginning Monday, March 12, through Friday, March 16, according to Todd Heitstuman, Operations and Trail Coordinator for Whitman County Parks Department. Actual times and days of pesticide application will be determined by weather conditions. Areas will be clearly posted when the work is carried out.

Trailgoers should be alert to the ongoing activity. Those with a greater sensitivity to chemical application should be aware of these dates and ongoing operations.

Tim Myers, Director of Whitman County Parks Department reminded that the department is required by law to control noxious weeds.

Myers also reminded trail users to continue to be mindful of yielding to vehicular traffic at trail/road intersections.
