Holbrook-Palmer Park Updates

Holbrook-Palmer Park is becoming Glyphosate Free.
Pursuant to Council direction, effective September 1, 2019, glyphosate products will no longer be used in Holbrook Palmer Park. All glyphosate materials have also been removed from the park. The Town’s maintenance contractor, MCE, has trained their staff in the use of Reward, an alternate broad-spectrum herbicide. As other broad-spectrum herbicides are not as effective as the previous product, weeds may be a bit more prevalent and more frequent spraying is required.

Any questions should be directed to the Towns Park Manager, Sally Bentz via email at sbentz@ci.atherton.ca.us.
