Boardman offers
noxious weed bounty
Once again the City o f
Boardman will be placing a
bounty on noxious weeds.
Up to $300 will be spent
on a p rogram aim ed at
controlling Puncturevine
w ithin the city. The city
has run the program for
the last five years and has
seen it as a “huge success,”
w ith c itizen s co llectin g
thousands o f pounds o f the
Puncturevine.
If you have ever
stepped on a Puncturevine
seed, you know w hat a
pain the plant can be. Each
spiny bur or seed pod from
the Puncturevine (Tribulus
terrestris), also known as
a “goathead,” contains 20
seeds equipped with long
sharp spines capable o f
puncturing a bike tire or
a shoe. It takes only three
w eeks for th is w eed to
sprout and make seeds.
To make things worse,
the seeds are some o f the
hardiest in nature; they may
lie in the ground dormant
for up to 20 years until just
the right conditions come
along for them to grow. Any
established Puncturevine
will continue to grow and
spread until frost com es
along— unless you stop it.
B o a rd m a n p la n s to
enlist the aid of its citizens
to control the spread of
Puncturevine by offering
to pay for collection of the
weed from July 7 to Aug.
15.
The Puncturevine and
its seed pods need to be
collected in bags provided
by the city and returned
to city hall to receive the
$ l-p er-b ag in bounty, or
until the entire $300 has
been paid out.
T h e c i t y ’s C o d e
Compliance Official, Martin
Martinez, said, “This is a
great opportunity for local
youth to raise money for
their organizations and to
do something good for their
community.” Areas o f the
most concern are the city’s
bike/pedestrian paths and
residential areas.
Bags can be picked up
at Boardman City Hall any
time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
beginning July 7.
