RDEK Neighbourhood Invasive Plant Program

Invasive plants pose a significant threat to the ecological, social, and economic values of the East Kootenay region and many private landowners struggle to deal with these species each year. Fortunately, there is help! The Regional District of East Kootenay has created the Neighbourhood Invasive Plant Program (NIPP) to help combat invasive plant species in the region.

The program has five different options:

• Guidance (may include a site visit) and resources (educational materials) – For those who want to learn and get started.
• Free backpack sprayer loan-out – For those who want to complete herbicide treatment.
• Cost Share Rebate – For those who want to hire a contractor (herbicide treatment, mowing/trimming, goats, etc.) or purchase invasive plant control equipment (backpack sprayer etc.).
• Herbicide Rebate – For those who want to purchase herbicide to complete herbicide treatment.
• New Invaders Rebate – For those who have priority invasive plants that are new to the region and are seeking assistance in controlling them.
