War Declared on Scotch
Broom
Shawnigan Lake--
Shawnigan Lake business ProQuo Services Canada Ltd., manufacturer
of the Pullerbear Scotch Broom Puller in collaboration with Duncan
Iron Works and Sign Experts, both of Duncan, have combined their
collective resources to produce a fully equipped mobile invasive
weed control trailer. The trailer is equipped with 12 Pullerbear
pulling tools and an assortment of other more common tools. This
mobile weed control trailer and tools will be available to assist
non-profit organizations in their efforts to control infestations
of Scotch Broom and other invasive weeds. Owner of ProQuo Services
and inventor of the Pullerbear, Randy Paisley, says that it is
time to declare war on Scotch Broom and to do that, pardon the
military lingo, you need to have boots on the ground. To attract
the numbers of volunteers that you need, to have an impact, you
need to have enough tools on hand to assist.
Paisley says, "We are really excited
to be able to do our part and the most rewarding aspect of this
venture is that it will cost the non-profit associations nothing
to use this equipment." Free use of the tools and trailer.
"These volunteers are already doing the environment and
the community a service, to provide them with the tools they
need, at no cost, seems a reasonable solution to the problem.
Local and Provincial government have yet to step up with any
plan to control the noxious invaders so it's up to the people
to take up arms - so to speak.
