The Acreage Owner Pesticide Program is a cooperative effort between land owners, Lakeland College, and the County of Grande Prairie. Acreage owners can learn how to control noxious and prohibited noxious weeds on their land and receive a certificate that allows them to apply specified herbicides provided by/purchased from the County Agriculture Department.

The goal is to train acreage owners how to control noxious and prohibited noxious weeds on their land in a safe and  environmentally responsible manner. 

You'll take a course and learn:

  • How herbicides work
  • How to safely apply herbicides
  • Options other than herbicides

If you have questions about controlling noxious or prohibited noxious weeds, contact us by email or 780-532-9727.

How can I apply?

Start today, by contacting us by email or 780-532-9727 to see if you are eligible for program. Then you can complete the registration form for the Lakeland College Acreage Owner Pesticide Program Certification Program. After you are certified, you will work with the Agricultural Fieldman to control or eradicate regulated weeds on your property as specified under the Weed Control Act.
