Episode Details

Ottawa’s launching round two of wild parsnip eradication—this invasive plant’s sap can cause painful burns and blisters, especially in the sun. Starting August 10th, crews will treat over 180 parks, hydro corridors, and stormwater zones using herbicides like Glyphosate and Navius Flex, with visible wilting within days. Manual removal is also happening in milder spots. Expect signs marking treated areas, which will come down once done—and watch for full effects to unfold over weeks. This multi-pronged effort aims to protect public health and preserve green spaces before the problem escalates.
