The City of Warren is announcing that the second phase of the contract with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is scheduled to begin the week of July 20, 2020. During this phase TNC will begin restoration and beautification of the Mahoning River corridor by removing invasive nonnative shrubs and plants. Herbicides used during this process will be applied in a way that is limited and localized to the removed plant and shrub roots. This will have no detrimental effects on the environment and will be safe for all users of the parks. TNC staff will begin the process at the south end of Perkins Park on Monday July 20th  and work around the perimeter towards the north end. From there TNC will move north to Packard Park beginning the week of July 27th. All work is weather permitting therefore timelines may be moved up or delayed.
