Certified Forest Steward Invasive Plant Control Demonstration Program - Retreatment

The Virginia Department of Forestry seeks a licensed, insured herbicide applicator to conduct secondary treatments of invasive plant species on private lands across Augusta, Greene, Cumberland, and Tazewell counties. The contractor must be pesticide‑licensed in Virginia, capable of identifying target species, and flexible to adjust chemicals and application methods as site conditions dictate. This effort supports the Certified Forest Steward Invasive Plant Control Demonstration Program’s retreatment phase. • Perform herbicide applications on invasive plants (e.g., kudzu, multiflora rose, etc.) on privately owned parcels. • Must hold a Virginia pesticide applicator license and carry appropriate insurance. • Require on‑site identification of species and ability to modify treatment plans per findings. • Work across four counties, coordinating with landowners and agency staff. • Deliver all required documentation and post‑treatment reports as per agency guidelines.
