|
| (Bland, Virginia - Media Release) – February 22nd, 2007, the Bland County Board of Supervisors, in cooperation with the Bland County Office of Virginia Cooperative Extension, is proud to announce the launch of the County’s new Multiflora Rose Program.
The Multiflora Rose Program is a cost-share program initialized to manage the plant’s nuisance population. More specifically, this program is designed to assist Bland County landowners with the purchase of pre-approved herbicides labeled for use in controlling the multiflora rose. The landowner would purchase the product and seek reimbursement for a percentage of the cost. The actual percentage is not yet determined, as the amount will be based on the number of participants in the program.
“The program’s intention is to encourage our citizens’ active involvement in slowing the spread and inordinate growth of the multiflora rose within our county”, stated Henry M. Blessing, Board of Supervisor. |
