Invasive Weed Management on Meaford’s Rural Roadsides Underway

The Municipality of Meaford has partnered with Green Stream Lawn and Vegetation Management Inc. to stop the spread of invasive weeds along rural roadways in the Municipality of Meaford.

Beginning July 6, 2023, through to August 6, 2023 (weather permitting), ClearView Herbicide will be applied in overgrown and weedy areas (not manicured lawns) along various road sections. ClearView is an approved herbicide shown to be effective in targeted control of wild chervil along road allowances, as well as a number of invasive weed species including wild parsnip, wild carrot, and giant hogweed without negatively impacting other vegetation, humans, or pollinators.

The product will be applied using a broad cast spraying unit along the municipal right of way (both sides) on identified road sections in the eastern portion of the Municipality.
