This is to notify you of upcoming herbicide application to control Wild Parsnip beginning June 24th, 2025.
Contractors working on behalf of the City, Brinkman & Associates Reforestation Ltd., will apply VisionMax (Glyphosate) directly to the plants using a handheld/backpack sprayer to minimize impacts to plants in the surrounding area. Notification signs will be posted at all access points to the spray area at least 24 hours prior to treatment and will be removed no less than 48 hours after treatment. Treatment should be completed within 2 weeks, but the timelines may be extended as needed depending on weather conditions.
The site list is as follows:
- Helen Molasy Memorial Park
- J.C Saddington Park
- Orchard Heights Park
This work supports the City’s Invasive Species Management Program and improves the health of natural areas across the City.
