Davis County honors Brandon Hunt for 30 years of noxious weed control service

During the recent Davis County Commission meeting, a heartfelt tribute was paid to Brandon Hunt, a dedicated public works employee who has served the county for 30 years. His commitment to educating the community about noxious weeds and implementing innovative biological control methods has made a significant impact on local environmental efforts.

Jason Filling, the operations manager of the public works department, highlighted Hunt's expertise in noxious weed control, noting that he has become a local authority in this area. Hunt's work not only involves managing invasive plant species but also educating residents about their potential dangers. His efforts have earned him recognition from peers and municipalities across Utah, showcasing his role as a leader in sustainable weed management practices.

Hunt's unique approach includes training beneficial insects to combat noxious weeds, earning him a playful comparison to a "noxious weed control Batman." This innovative method reduces reliance on harmful pesticides, aligning with broader environmental goals in the community.

The commissioners emphasized the importance of dedicated public servants like Hunt, stating that the true strength of county government lies in its people. As the meeting concluded, they expressed gratitude for the hard work and service provided by all county employees, reinforcing the vital role they play in enhancing the quality of life for Davis County residents.
