Tweet ThisEMC News - Just take a drive through North Dundas and you cannot help but see wild parsnip. While this nasty weed is problematic it is merely a dandelion in comparison to its cousin, giant hogweed.
Currently, there have been no official sightings of Hogweed in North Dundas, according to South Nation Conservation Authority, North Dundas Township road crews and Weed Man. While there are no confirmed cases yet in North Dundas it has been reported that Manotick resident Wendy Eberwien, assistant to Coun. Glen Brooks, has received reports of hogweed in the area. Discussions are in the works with city staff to look into the matter.
“I hate to say this but hogweed will probably be in the area shortly,”saidJordan Squire, the Invasive Species Monitoring Technician at South Nation Conservation.
