Stuartburn and Piney Gear Up to Tackle Noxious Weeds

By Dan Guetre

The planned start for the Road Side Spraying Program to tackle noxious weeds along municipal right of ways in the RMs of Piney and Stuartburn is set for later in May.

The program to minimize the impact of these unwanted plants follows the criteria set out through the Manitoba Noxious Weed Act.

Both municipalities are taking precautions to minimize the effect of the spraying pro- gram on organic producers asking them to register so a buffer zone can be created. This buffer zone will also be taken into account for any bee hive operations.

If you have a bee hive operation or a registered organic farm operation, please contact the Weed Supervisor so they can update their maps. You can do this by emailing supervisor@psweedbuilding.ca or calling Weed Control Supervisor Gary Hora at 204-380-9624.
