The PRRD’s Integrative Approach to Invasive Plants
The PRRD uses a well-rounded approach to manage invasive plants. This includes hand-pulling, spot spraying, and re-seeding areas. Our goal is to reduce the need for spraying on lands owned and legally occupied by the PRRD in line with the Noxious Weeds Act.
There has been some misunderstanding within our communities that the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) plans to spray invasive plants along railways and roadsides. This has led to a mix of public opinions.
The PRRD does not treat federal, provincial, or private lands.
The PRRD also maintains a priority list for species not classified as “Noxious Weeds.” This list helps land managers in our region prioritize treatments on their lands by considering social, economic, and environmental impacts.
Our invasive plant program aims to:
- increase awareness on the potential impacts of invasive plants,
- prevent the introduction of new invasive plant species,
- contain existing infestations to prevent further spread,
- ensure compliance with existing legislation,
- restore land.
We welcome participation and contribution to this program. The PRRD website posts the Annual Strategic Plan and the Invasive Plant Priority List for public review. Please visit our website to review these documents: https://prrd.bc.ca/services/invasive-plants/#plans-and-reports
For questions regarding the program, contact environmental.services@prrd.bc.ca
Want to be more involved? Join us in the fall at the Strategic Plan and Profile Monitoring Committee of the Peace River Regional District. Meeting dates will be posted on the PRRD website and social media platforms.
If you’d like to be added as an invitee, please send an email directly to prrd.dc@prrd.bc.ca and we’ll add you to the mailing list!
Regional Growth Strategy Survey open for submissions
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is developing the region’s first Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) and needs public feedback. The RGS is a long-range, high-level planning document. It will guide long-term growth in the Peace and help support more coordinated region-wide planning with the PRRD and member municipalities (City of Dawson Creek, City of Fort St. John, District of Taylor, District of Chetwynd, District of Hudson’s Hope, District of Tumbler Ridge, Village of Pouce Coupe).
This will help to better understand and prepare for the potential changes we can expect over the next 20 years. These changes include a growing population, new service demands, the regional economy and a changing climate.

PRRD Receives Provincial Funding – Community Emergency Preparedness Fund Disaster Risk Reduction
The Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is pleased to share that they are the recipient of an $80,000 grant from the provincial Community Emergency Preparedness Fund under the Disaster Risk Reduction – Climate Adaptation Stream. Back in February, 2023, the Regional Board endorsed the recommendation from the Emergency Executive Committee to apply for the funding, to allow the PRRD to contract an environmental engineering company to research, prepare and facilitate a geohazards workshop for staff and the Regional Board. The funding will be used to inform the Regional Board and their staff the importance of geohazard risk identification and risk reduction, to better position them to make informed decision on land use and emergency management planning in the region.
