Municipality to Handle Giant Hogweed Removal on HRM Property

From HRM:
(Friday, July 16, 2010) – Members of the public who believe they’ve
spotted Giant Hogweed on HRM-owned property should call the HRM call
centre (490-4000) to report the sighting.

HRM has now issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the services of a
Landscaping Contractor to mechanically remove and dispose of Giant
Hogweed reported and identified as being on HRM property. Removal work
will begin the end of next week – once the competition has closed and a
contractor has been decided upon.

This service does not extend to personal property. Individuals who
believe their property contains Giant Hogweed should call Marian Munro
(424-3564) at the Nova Scotia Museum (for identification) and contact a
landscaper for plant disposal.
