Not sure how many people have an eye for this but this photo by @photogGarth in today’s @thenarwhalca story on Ft. Nelson tenure sale shows what is very likely a couple glyphosate sprayed blocks right on a river, probably the Liard.
No aspen in here. Spruce monocrops. Spray job

And the small strips of residual aspen are in a line, indicating the helicopter flight path when they sprayed #glyphosate.
You may say, jeez kind of close to the river. Legally they only have to stay away 10 meters and it is self regulated. I.e not at all.

The aspen that were in this block will probably never return in our lifetimes. The health of aspen depends on the root system and glyphosate is very good at killing aspen root systems. Aspen rarely regenerates from seed. Irreparable ecological damage.
Fort Nelson River rather, it looks like.
