										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>La version française suit</em></p>
<p>Following the removal of ash trees impacted by Emerald Ash Borer from this woodlot, and subsequent reforestation work, tending and planting operations are now required to successfully rehabilitate the forest.</p>
<p>These operations will include the removal and treatment of invasive plants and other competing species to allow for existing and planted native trees to succeed. Where trails run through the treatment areas, it may be necessary to close the public access for a short period of time while the treatment takes place. Signs will be posted on site to identify these areas that will be temporarily closed to park users. Signs will include provincially regulated information about pesticide use, treatment timing and contact. <strong>For your safety, please do not enter the parks or pathways where signs are posted. </strong>Brush piles created through mechanical removal of vegetation will be removed following the completion of operations.</p>
<p>The tending and planting of saplings will start in October, weather permitting. Typical reforestation species include: red, sugar, and silver maple, bitternut hickory, blue-beech, burr and red oak, poplar species, white pine, white spruce, hemlock, larch, and dogwood.</p>

<p>Dans la foulée de l’abattage des frênes infectés par l’agrile du frêne dans ce boisé et des travaux de reboisement qui ont suivi, il faut maintenant procéder à des travaux d’entretien et de plantation pour réussir à remettre ce boisé en état.</p>
<p>Ces travaux consisteront à enlever et à traiter les plantes envahissantes et d’autres essences concurrentes pour assurer la croissance des arbres indigènes existants et plantés. Veuillez noter que dans les cas où des sentiers traversent les zones de traitement, il pourrait se révéler nécessaire d’en interdire l’accès au public pendant une courte durée dans le cadre des travaux de traitement. Des panneaux indicateurs seront installés sur les lieux afin d’indiquer les secteurs qui seront temporairement interdits aux usagers du parc. Ces panneaux indicateurs comprendront l’information que le gouvernement provincial oblige à donner sur l’épandage des pesticides et sur les délais de traitement, ainsi que les coordonnées des personnes-ressources.<strong> Pour votre sécurité, vous voudrez bien ne pas vous rendre dans les parcs ou les sentiers dans lesquels ces panneaux indicateurs seront installés.</strong> Les tas de broussailles constitués dans l’arrachage mécanique de la végétation seront enlevés à la fin des travaux.</p>
<p>Nous commencerons en octobre, si le temps est clément, les activités d’entretien et les travaux de plantation des jeunes arbres. Faisant partie des essences types qui seront utilisées dans le reboisement: l’érable rouge, l’érable à sucre et l’érable argenté, le caryer cordiforme, le charme de Caroline, le chêne à gros fruits et le chêne rouge, les essences de peupliers, le pin blanc, l’épinette blanche, la pruche, le mélèze, et le cornouiller.</p>
