The Sligo Steward in Section 7 reported in the fall that many of the trees and shrubs at the Forest Glen Reforestation site looked dead. I made a quick inspection this spring, and I found approximately 80% of the trees and shrubs were dead. According to a Parks employee, an area nearby that had a problem with invasive plants and was treated with herbicide in 2006. The wind may have blown the herbicide into the reforestation site.

The entire site should be replanted.
