Changes to NYSDEC giant hogweed control services – stay informed!

By All Posts

We received a letter from the NYSDEC stating that beginning this spring, DEC will no longer offer hogweed control services on personal property. Instead, they are focusing on educating landowners and equipping them with information on how to safely and effectively control and/or monitor for giant hogweed. Included with the letter was a map of where hogweed was discovered and removed at the creek behind the town hall. Year detected: 2016; no plants found in 2024. Please visit DEC’s webpage at http://on.ny.gov/gianthogweed for more information about giant hogweed identification and management. DEC is available to help you determine the best management practices for your site. You can email DEC at ghogweed@dec.ny.gov or call the giant hogweed information line at 845-256-3111 with any questions you may have.
