Applications
1. The major dirt path should receive a gravel trail mix as soon as possible to prevent further braiding.
2. Thistle needs a more effective treatment than pulling. It should be treated with a herbicide to get it under control for future hand management.
3. The City of Calgary Natural Areas Department is welcome to use my data from Whispering Woods, as they have not yet mapped the area.
4. The least invaded areas in the southeastern portion of the park should be preserved as rough fescue grassland. Any plant invading this grassland habitat should be removed, including aspen and extensive buckbrush.
5. A management program should be created for the park that includes the elimination of thistle and brome.
6. Whispering Woods could be used as an experimentation and educational site for getting rid of these invasive species.
