This treatment, part of our forest renewal program, will temporarily control herbaceous, shrub and deciduous competition, to improve the growth and survival of tree seedlings and saplings. Herbicide will be applied through either aerial or ground-based application. Application of herbicides is scheduled to begin on or around August 10, 2024, and completed prior to September 15, 2024.
