Beginning Tuesday, July 9, 2024 crews began removing invasive vegetation from Horizon View Park.

For the next 6 weeks, the City’s contractor will be removing invasive plants – primarily blackberry canes, crowns and roots – using light machinery and a lot of manual labor. The removal of the invasive plants will provide a healthier and more vibrant space for park users.

The removal of the invasive plants is a council requested and approved project that the City is undertaking to manage the park’s operations and functionality.

  1. Oh, was wondering about the use of goats? They have had a herd of goats in years pst that munched it all back. Maybe they’re taking it out at the roots this time? Curious

  2. How does the city decide where to use paid labor and where to rely on volunteers? Does the neighborhood tax base influence it?
