Wildfires are one of the greatest risks to properties in and around the City of Sisters.
Weed abatement is a key step in reducing the risk anf damage of wildfires.
City law limits heights of weeds to a maximum of 6”. The abatement dates established by the Code fall on May 15th and July 15th.
While it is permissible to mow weeds to achieve the required height, certain types of weeds actually thrive when mowed and should be hand-pulled; most notably the knapweed family.
