Management of pests

As part of our ongoing park maintenance, we need to control the rabbit population. If left unattended, the rabbits cause damage to sites and gardens throughout the Park. 

An external contractor has been employed to manage the current population. Treatment will commence 1st March 202 to be completed by 19th March 2021 (weather permitting). Please be aware that during this time Pindone will be used on the grounds of the Park.

URGENT WORKS - Removal of Pine Trees in the 'Stations of the Cross' section

Due to the infestation of an insect pest and the potential risk of the pest spreading to other areas within the Park; advise sort from horticultural contractors was that the removal of the Pine trees located in the 'Stations of the Cross' section is the best option. 

The pine trees will be replaced with two new plants in each of the garden beds. Plant type is yet to be determined as Management is awaiting advice from the horticulturalist on the best options available. The replanting is anticipated to occur in April. 

If you have any queries regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact the Forest Lawn Office. We appreciate your understanding and patience.
