Notification of herbicide application for the control of invasive plants in your ward

By July 26, 2024Parks, Ward 1

Upcoming herbicide application to control Dog-Strangling Vine and Phragmites (Common Reed) beginning July 29th at Adamson Estate Park.

Contractors working on behalf of the City, Invasive Phragmites Control Centre, will be applying RoundUp WeatherPRO (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 4 weeks, 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.
