Weeds of the Month
We have also run several "Weed of the Month" campaigns to provide the public with more information on problematic weeds, and how to deal with them. As of July 2019, a new Weed of the Month campaign will be under way, featuring the weeds listed below. Look out for our monthly "Wanted Dead" posters, and information sheets in the monthly City newsletter.

Scotch broom is widespread on the Oregon Coast. Oregon State University extension recommends pulling small broom plants, with stem diameters less than half an inch. With larger plants, cutting the stem close to the ground should kill them. Weed wrenches can be used to pull broom plants, and are available for loan at City Hall. There are three sizes available; the medium size is usually the best option. The best time to deal with broom is in the spring, when the soil is still moist and soft. Also, the flowers make the plants highly visible at this time, and seed has not yet set.
