This is to notify you of upcoming herbicide application to control Tree of Heaven; this work is scheduled to be completed between September 15th – October 6th.
Work locations within Ward 1 include:
- Orchard Heights Park
- Helen Molasy Memorial Park
Contractors working on behalf of the City, Brinkman Living Infrastructure 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 prior to October 6th, but the timelines may be extended as needed depending on weather conditions.
This work supports the City’s Invasive Species Management Program and improves the health of natural areas across the City.
The Park Supervisor and 311 have been notified of these operations.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
