Board reviews invasive-plant removal at Stop 24; herbicide used to protect dune grass
Summary
Parks staff reported treatment of dense patches of mugwort and soapwort at Stop 24, using broadleaf herbicide in some areas to protect dune grass and hand-pulling annuals and biennials in newly cleared hillside areas.
Board members heard a presentation about invasive species removal at Stop 24. Staff reported dense patches of mugwort and soapwort on the left side of the install and said those areas were treated with a broadleaf herbicide to protect dune grass; other areas were spot treated.
The minutes say invasive annuals and biennials on the newly cleared hillside were removed by hand. Staff also noted the need to remove two dead locust trees on the west side.
The board did not record further motions or budget votes on the treatment in the minutes; members documented the treatment approach and planned tree removals for follow-up.
