Brazeau County does weed inspections on private land and primary highways annually. Weeds on all County road allowances are controlled chemically or mechanically.

County roads are also mowed annually on a rotation system to ensure all properties are managed fairly.

 

Wild Boar Bounty

New on the Agriculture Pest Act list are wild boars which are moving south through neighboring counties. Currently, none have been found in Brazeau County.  We have joined the Wild Boar Bounty Program from Alberta Agriculture. The municipality pays the hunters $50 per pair of wild boar at large ears submitted and collects a signed declaration that states the animal was at large, was killed humanely and legally and the legal land location where the animal was killed.
