Use of herbicide for Canandaigua s Lagoon Park gets OK
MPNnow
CANANDAIGUA The days of much of the invasive plant European buckthorn in the city’s Lagoon Park may be numbered.
City Council by an 8-1 vote Thursday night granted an exemption to its pesticide moratorium, which essentially gives the OK for the volunteer removal work to be done, perhaps as soon as this month.

About six years ago, the invasive buckthorn, which is a shrub or small tree, was close to overrunning the park near Canandaigua Lake, threatening the native plant life that provides food for insects, birds and other organisms in the park.
Now, with much of the buckthorn gone, although some stubborn plants are still hanging on, the park needs to be gone through again, according to Jim Engle, who owns White Oak Nursery and has led past removal projects. ....
