Hydro One foresters will be in your community from May to September to trim brush, tree branches and remove trees or vegetation that may grow into overhead powerlines. This work helps us continue to provide reliable power to homes and businesses in your area, and makes it safe for our crews to access lines for maintenance or emergency repairs.
How we manage vegetation
Our experienced team manages growth of brush, trees and other vegetation through the selective application of federally and provincially approved herbicides. Our licensed and certified forestry team will apply these herbicides safely and will not use them near open water sources, including rivers and creeks.
