Notification of herbicide application for the control of invasive trees

By September 16, 2024Parks, Ward 1

Upcoming herbicide application to control Tree of Heaven, on September 16th, at Helen Molasy Memorial Park.

Contractors working on behalf of the City, Brinkman & Associates Reforestation Ltd., will apply Garlon (Triclopyr) directly to the bark of the plant 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 on the intended day, 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.
