Scotch Broom Removal – May

This is an ongoing pursuit to try to clear away this highly invasive and flammable plant. It’s important to cut it and not disturb the earth as this will germinate seeds, read more about it at https://www.broombusters.org/how-to-cut-broom/ WPCA has a new invasive plant puller tool available for loan (best used on damp soil). Contact your Exec. Please don’t leave it on the roadside, it is an even worse fire hazard.
