I just spoke to the landscaping crew in the fenced off portion of Clark
Park. The unknown chemical that is being sprayed on Clark Park, as I
write this, is the herbicide, Round-Up.
About two years ago, I witnessed the same procedure and reported the
event to this public list. But the FOCP and UCD claimed that the only
chemical EVER used on Clark Park was an "organic fertilizer." But we
know from the devastation and the early signs posted that they have been
dumping this poison, twice a year, for about ten years. (Apparently,
they must be telling the workmen to no longer put up the warning signs.
The workman was blamed for putting out the signs by MISTAKE when I
caught them two years ago!)
I was called the usual names when I reported the incident. And we were
all told that everyone outside the secret and anonymous Clark Park
Partnership should never be believed regarding Clark Park.
I'd estimate about 20 gallons of empty bottles were being cleared as I
spoke to them. There is know way to know the total amount of the poison
being used today. I watched the workman soak the tree roots of just 1
tree with a huge amount.
Please go down immediately and ask the supervisor to confirm the name of
this poison. I've been told that people no longer doubt me so much or
believe the pack of lies like they once did. Nevertheless, I hope
someone corroborates this important fact!

glenn,
perhaps a petition opposing the use of harmful inorganic sprays in the
park could be set up at the next clark park farmer's market. surely the
buyers and sellers at the farmer's market would find such sprays
objectionable; and in any case, anyone at the farmer's market would be
interested in learning about what was actually being sprayed in the park.
