I have noticed over the past two years (and reported to city workers) the proliferation of noxious weeds in
the parks on the North side of Bozeman, particularly the north end of the Ponds park )near Lewis & Bark
dog park, on the parking strip on Fowler right across from Urgent Care, and all along the trail between the
Gallatin Valley Mall and Virginia Way. The spotted knapweed now takes up nearly the entire water way and
the bridge to the northeast of the dog park. They are all in flower now, and will be spreading seeds soon. It
looks terrible and is a danger to our riparian and rural areas.
Moreover, Canadian Thistle has just about taken over portions of the Regional Park. The weeds have spread
to Run Dog Run dog park as well.
These are areas I frequent. I noticed that the walking trails were recently worked on in the area by GLVT
volunteers. Couldn't volunteers be used to clean up some of this mess?
As a private citizen, I am required to keep my property free of noxious weeds. Why doesn't the City hold
itself responsible?
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
