Weed Control Spraying - Starting May 28th thru June 10th we will be spraying for weeds in the City Parks. All areas will be flagged where treatment has been applied.
Between May 20th and May 25th, herbicides will be applied to noxious weeds at the following locations: St. Vrain Greenway west of Martin St., Fairgrounds Pond north of the St. Vrain River, west side of Hover St. from Rogers Rd. to 3rd Ave., and Left Hand Greenway from Kanemoto Park to Hover St. All areas will be flagged where treatment has been applied.
On May 24th between the hours of 5:30 am to 9:00 am (weather permitting), the Forestry Division plans to do a pesticide spray application on the Ash trees at Thompson Park. This treatment has been deemed necessary to protect long term health of the majestic Ash trees. There is evidence of significant branch dieback in the Ash trees specifically caused by Ash Bark Beetle infestation.
Roosevelt Park - Spraying of the shrub beds and tree wells will be done early morning on Friday, May 17th.
Recreation Center and Service Center - A contractor will be spraying and fertilizing these two area next week, starting May 20th.
Clean Up Green Up
Thank you to all the volunteer individuals and teams who helped with our 2013 City of Longmont Clean Up Green Up event! It truly makes a difference in our City.
Weed Control Crew - Noxious weeds are one of the most serious threats to our public lands. They degrade the environment, reduce agricultural production, and interfere with outdoor recreation. Weed control volunteers will help control these invaders by digging, pulling, and clipping on public lands throughout the city, including some properties not open to the public. Meet new friends, explore new lands, and make a real difference. Volunteer for a day or all year long. We can use your help! All ages and experience welcome. For more information or to apply, please contact Jim Krick at 303-651-8451 or Jim.Krick@ci.longmont.co.us
