Flagging Buffers

As environmental concerns and regulations have increased, many customers are requesting our services in flagging waterway buffers according to Forest Practice Rules prior to spraying.  Our flaggers survey the roads on OHVs and, by working closely together with the spray applicators, provide a safe and accurate combination that is still much more cost effective than mechanical brushing.

Mechanical Brushing

Reclaim roads that are too overgrown to spray
Control brush in non-sprayed buffer zones (preserving the integrity of the ditch lines which helps promote roadside drainage)
Manage brush on road systems or properties where herbicides are prohibited

Roadside Spraying

When forest roadsides are sprayed on a 3-4 year rotation cycle, your timberlands will reap the following benefits:

Reduction in costly repairs & rebuilding of roads
Improved line-of-sight & safety around sharp corners
Open & accessible roadways for evaluation & maintenance activities throughout the crop life cycle
Well maintained road systems raise property values
Much more cost effective than mechanical brushing
Reduction in vehicle scratching & mirror damage due to overhanging vegetation

Noxious Weed Control

Roadside control is performed as a stand-alone broadcast or spot-treat application or in conjunction with brush control
Off-road control is performed with OHV mounted & backpack sprayers

We have many years of experience in roadside forestry spraying throughout Western Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. WRS features a team of licensed and trained applicators who enjoy and take satisfaction in a job well done!
