Hi, Mr. Close -- Sharon Eversman here again with concern about our city parkland (New Hyalite subdivision) as the
renovated sewer system is being done. This parkland used to have three really good native grasses -- western
wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, and Idaho fescue. They have been choking out because of our lawn grassses --smooth brome and Kentucky bluegrass And thistle because of all the trail traffic. It could be that the city willconsider replanting the damaged areas with the most invasive, non-native weedy grasses: bluegrass, smooth bromeand crested wheatgrass. I e-mailed Mitch Overton to ask if he would at least consider mixing in some native grass - western wheat grass, bluebunch wheat, Idaho fescue seeds --with whatever they plan to replant with.
Thanks, Sharon Eversman, 1402Cherry, 586-6788
Lots of spotted knapweed between Cherry Drive and Ash east of Holly....
