Public Notice > Glen Allan Park temporary closure July 2 to 7, 2024

📣 PUBLIC NOTICE >>> GLEN ALLAN PARK CLOSURE

Folks who frequent Glen Allan Park in Bridgewater are advised that the park will be temporarily closed to the public from July 2 to July 7, 2024, to allow Bridgewater's Hemlock Conservation Project staff team to treat Hemlock trees in the park with a Health Canada approved IMA-JET pesticide as part of our efforts to combat the invasive Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (HWA). Signage will be posted at the park's entrances accordingly.

TREATMENT DETAILS
The pesticide being used is approved for use by Health Canada and is safe to use. However, out of an abundance of caution, we are asking the public to abide by this closure notice and to stay out of the park during the entirety of the closure period.

The pesticide is delivered to the trees via an injection system method. This treatment process will take approximately three days to complete and the park will remain closed to the public until 48 hours after the treatment has been completed.

The Town of Bridgewater apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this closure and we thank you for doing your part in helping us save our community's Hemlock trees. When the park has re-opened to the public we will post an update accordingly.

We invite you to share this message and, for more information on HWA and the Hemlock Conservation Project, please visit www.bridgewater.ca/HWA.
