Weed Control & Wild Chervil Management

The Town is required to control weeds that have been deemed noxious in the Province of Ontario under the Weed Control Act. Roadside spot spraying takes place between May and June of each year and is contracted through a licensed technician. 

Wild Chervil

Wild chervil is a herbaceous biennial or short-lived perennial from the parsley family. As a heavy seed producer, it is easily spread to new locations and can quickly take over an area, displacing native species and forming dense stands which can be hard to control. It is most commonly found along roadsides, fence lines, streambanks, in ditches, and competing with pastures and hay crops.

Starting in 2023, the Town is shifting to a reactive Wild Chervil Management Strategy that will rely on spot spraying and shared stewardship with the public. With this shift, residents will no longer have to opt out of pesticide spraying. If residents identify wild chervil within the road allowance fronting their property they are asked to either cut the chervil themselves before it goes to seed, or contact the Town's Operations Department prior to Monday, May 15, 2023 to arrange a spot spraying treatment.
