Buffelgrass and Fountain Grass has become an epidemic in Oro Valley as well as the surrounding Tucson region. You are invited to attend, on Friday, October 24 at 6:30 p.m., a Buffelgrass/Fountain Grass public meeting that will be held in the Oro Valley Town Hall Council Chambers. This will be the Town's first major outreach meeting to the public. This meeting is being held in an effort to educate residents and help identify Buffelgrass and Fountain Grass, and to discuss the Town's current preventive measures and what is being done in the surrounding areas. There will also be discussion regarding the formation of a "North West Weedwackers" Volunteer Group. A North West Weedwackers group would schedule and participate in "Pulls" to physically dig out Buffelgrass and Fountain Grass in washes and road right of ways. For those of you living in or near Oro Valley, here is your chance to start attacking the buffel and fountain grass in your neighborhoods. If you cannot attend the meeting but are interested, please contact Carmen Ryan, cryan@orovalleyaz.gov or 229-5070. ************************************************** Tucson Clean & Beautiful, 4004 S.
