Q. Please describe your issue(s), including location:
A. The town woods between Rosedale and Niles has an invasive plant, Lesser Celandine, that is now expanding throughout the town. Also, the trail between Rosedale and Niles ball fields has not had wood chips put down in years. Is a muddy mess, but a perfect spot to observe acres of the invasive plant.

Thanks for taking the time to report your issue. DPW and MEC will continue to monitor the Lesser Celandine in the parks, and remove if necessary. Unfortunately, Round Up is the best to remove it, which has chemicals that we prefer to not spray in our Open Space Areas. If it gets to the point that it is encroaching walking paths and/or playing areas we will look into removing it.
As for the bark on the paths, it has been determined that bark is not the best type of material to place on a path as it can become slippery, and break down quicker, plus it washes away with storms. DPW is aware and will look into other alternatives to place on the pathways.
If at any point you have additional concerns, we ask that you please report a new issue.
