A Proclamation of the Borough of Fox Chapel, Allegheny County, proclaiming May 10 - 16, 2026, National Police Week, and May 15, 2026, Peace Officers' Memorial Day in the Borough of Fox Chapel.

Please join Fox Chapel Park Commission members on Saturday, May 2, 2026, at 9 a.m. as they host the Garlic Mustard Pull event. Volunteers are asked to meet in the McCahill Park parking lot. Based on observations of current invasive species, they will be dispersed to various parks.

Garlic Mustard, a noxious wintergreen invader, produces chemicals that can weaken native plants’ ability to grow, thus making room for its seeds to take root. Garlic Mustard has a short life cycle; each plant produces thousands of seeds, and the population can spread rapidly. Aggressive invaders overrun the Trillium Trail and Salamander Park.

There is hope, so we must act now to remove Garlic Mustard before it disperses its seeds this summer. Garlic mustard has a two-year life cycle, so if we are vigilant this year, as last year, we could remove a significant amount from targeted parks.

Trash bags will be provided. Garden gloves are recommended but not required. The plants are easily pulled by grasping them at
the base, but you can bring a small hand trowel to loosen the surrounding earth and make their removal easier.

Share this call for volunteers with all your friends and neighbors. Last year, many volunteers expressed a renewed discovery of family, friends, community, and the beauty of our lovely parks.

Coffee with County Council Member Lissa Geiger Shulman

If you live in County Council District 3, I hope that you will stop by Tú y Yo Café for a beverage and conversation!

County Council has been working on several issues including term limits for county elected officials, property reassessments, noncooperation with ICE, protections for tenants, and updating our County’s strategic plan. If you have feed back on these or other community issues, please put this on your calendar & make a plan to stop by!

I look forward to talking with you!
