Keep Pets and Kids Away from District Trees and Shrubs Tuesday Until 1pm

The District just received notice that our landscape contractor WD Yards will be treating all the trees and shrubs in the District with a weed control herbicide on Tuesday (4/8) in the morning.
WD Yards has shared that they will be spraying in the 8 - noon window and that the application poses no risk whatsoever to humans and no risk to pets once the herbicide has dried 1 hour after application.
But out of an abundance of caution: Please keep pets and kids away from trees and shrubs throughout the District until 1pm on Tuesday (4/8). The herbicide treatment has a slight tint to it to make it easier to avoid, and WD Yards also puts up small warning flags around the treated areas.
