MARLBOROUGH – The city’s Forestry Division will begin applying herbicides on or around July 26, and the effort will last through November.
The herbicide is used to control weeds and other undesirable vegetation, including poison ivy.
The methods will include hand sprayer, low-pressure hydraulic sprayer and weed seeker.
The city has marked out several “no spray” areas near wetlands and private water supplies.
For more information about the project, including the types of herbicides used, contact Christopher White, general foreman for the city’s Department of Public Works, 135 Neil St.; 508-624-6910, ext. 33601.
