One exception is that ragweed does need to be removed.
I don’t know. But in other possibly related news, I distinctly remember the University of Waterloo making a big deal some years ago — probably around 20 by now — about stopping grass mowing in some areas. As a result many areas grew up into brush over several years. In the last few years, I’ve noticed that, with no fanfare, they’ve started mowing again. Completely incomprehensible to me. Sometimes you save money by simply stopping doing stuff that isn’t actually useful.
I seem to recall that too, but I think it changed when the government made it illegal to use weed killer, so instead of grass, you have weed growing. And not the happy type of weed, obviously. Anyway, lots of complaints about this. The region also tried the same things maybe 10 or 12 years ago. And apparently the got too many complaints.
