The City is moving forward with a three-year pilot soil management project in an effort to improve soil health, better turf conditions and over the long term reduce the need for pesticides on City properties.
Last year the City of Fernie heard concerns from the public about the application of pesticides in public spaces and health. This year they are doing something about it!
