Full Notice Text
minnesota department of natural resources PAID PUBLIC NOTICE Each year the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' Division of Forestry reforests thousands of acres of forestland. We use a variety of techniques and treatments to establish trees and ensure they survive, grow, and remain healthy. A small percentage of the sites we manage each year are treated with herbicides to control competing vegetation, either to prepare sites for subsequent tree planting or seeding, or to release young seedlings from overtopping trees and brush. The Aitkin Area will be applying herbicide on one site comprised of 48 acres to release trees from competing vegetation. This will occur between May 15th and June 15th. The treatment will be done using the following equipment: Skidder and boom sprayer. All sites treated with herbicides will be signed so that the public will know when they are on a treated site.
