Weed woes and the Prescott-Russell Trail gŏđŏ

trail during the spring and summer months. “I do not support trespassing,” Kirby said. “Maybe we should fence our trails.” Kirby also noted that some sections of the trail pass through “prime farm land” areas of Prescott and Russell and that problems can result for the neighbouring farms if regular brushing and weeding of the trail is not done. He has received some complaints from local farmers about noxious weeds al- lowed to grow alongside some sections of the trail and these weeds then pose prob- lems for the farm and pasture lands when their seeds and spores drift in the wind.
The PR Trail is part of a former railway line that VIA Rail has leased to the United Coun- ties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) for use as a recreational trail route. Sylvain Charlebois, UCPR economic development and tourism director, noted that the City of Ottawa pro- vides some support funding for trail main- tenance as far as the section that passes through the village of Hammond before it connects with Ottawa’s trail network. But he noted that there is still a limit to the trail maintenance budget. “When VIA had the maintenance respon- sibility,” said Kirby, regarding the trail route,
“the maintenance was done 100 per cent.” Jean-Yves Lalonde, mayor for Alfred-Plan- tagenet Township, another rural communi- ty in the counties, also noted that responsi- bility for PR Trail maintenance has come up for discussion at his council. The Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail group (PRRT) has responsibility of looking after and promoting the trail for the coun- ties. The UCPR council will ask the group to have one of its members attend the next committee of the whole session to discuss the maintenance situation and offer any ideas on dealing with concerns.
