Currently, certain green spaces in Beaumont suffer from very high concentrations of broadleaf weeds, such as dandelions. Also, we spray the spruce trees to control the spread and destruction caused by the yellow-headed spruce sawfly.
Spraying will be done on an “as needed” basis in the following areas during the 2017 growing season:•All infested shrub beds•All areas with large populations of noxious and prohibited weeds where it is not practical to hand-pick;•Sports fields and green spaces throughout Beaumont;•Green spaces with very high concentrations of broadleaf weeds, such as dandelions;•Spruce trees infected with the Yellow-Headed Spruce Sawfly;•Trees infected with scale insect larvae.Spraying will not take place in the following areas:•Within 30 m of a playground or daycare;•In the flood zone surrounding any water body or waterway, including Storm Water Management Facilities.
