Second season of hemlock protection work scheduled for June 24 to 26

Due to the potential for wet weather midweek, the Town of Bridgewater's Hemlock Woolly Adelgid team is postponing its planned second season of pesticide treatment focused on Section 2 of Woodland Gardens until June 24 to 26, 2025.

Section 2 is located behind Tiny Tots Playground and includes the portion of Woodland Gardens that spans from near the intersection of Fern Avenue and Jubilee Road on the south to just past the Elizabeth Avenue trail access on the west. Click here for a map of the area.

Treatment for Hemlock Woolly Adelgid will take place on Tuesday, June 24. Out of an abundance of caution, this section of Woodland Gardens will be closed to the public starting on June 24 through June 26, 2025.

The playground and pool area, as well as the meadow near DesBrisay Museum, will be open to the public as usual during this work.
