Currently, the main issue within our municipality is Leafy Spurge & Scentless Chamomile development. Other, less problematic weeds identified are Purple Loosestrife and Absinthe. Our municipality's Weed Inspector, Dorothee Corrigan, is helping to take care of these problems. If you have any concerns, problem areas on your land or additional weeds to be documented, please get in touch with our office. We may be able to help with some costs!
