Proposed by-law on lawn naturalization in PEC needs some tweaking

Prince Edward County Committee of the Whole hears a deputation on lawn naturalization from Prof. Nina-Marie E. Lister, Toronto Metropolitan University at Highline Hall Wellington, April 13, 2023.

At Committee of the Whole on Thursday, council indicated it’s in favour of changing cultivated landscapes like lawns, into more natural landscapes but did make several motions for changes to the by-law as presented by staff. Some of the motions council made involved language changes like altering the wording of the by-law from “allowing” naturalized lawns to “supporting” which was one of Lister’s suggestions to improve the by-law.As is, the by-law only applies to private property but council asked staff to explore adding public lands as well.The proposed by-law also calls for Glossy buckthorn, Himalayan Balsam, Japanese knotweed and Phragmites to be defined as local weeds and their growth prohibited.
