littlecanadamn.org <br />Our Newest Employees- Buckthorn Removal Experts <br />Goats will be working hard to remove buckthorn in Spooner Park in early <br />September. In recent years, an innovative and eco-friendly approach to <br />managing invasive plant species has gained traction: using goats for <br />buckthorn removal. This method not only helps in controlling the spread of <br />the invasive buckthorn but also promotes sustainable land management. <br />What is Buckthorn? <br />Why Use Goats? <br />Buckthorn is an invasive <br />shrub that threatens local <br />ecosystems by outcompeting <br />native plants for resources. <br />Effective Browsers: <br />Goats prefer shrubs, <br />trees, and weeds over <br />grasses effective at <br />targeting buckthorn, <br />which thrives in dense, <br />shrubby areas. <br />Eco-Friendly: Goats <br />provide a natural solution <br />that supports sustainable <br />land management. <br />Cost-Effective: Goats <br />can cover large areas <br />quickly and reduce labor <br />costs associated with <br />manual removal. <br />Residents and visitors are advised that <br />the popular water feature at Pioneer <br />Park will be closing for the season after <br />Labor Day. The facility, which has been <br />a summer favorite for families and <br />children, will wrap up its operations at <br />the end of the day on September 2. <br />As the weather starts to cool down and <br />the summer season comes to a close, the <br />water feature will shut its operation for <br />maintenance and preparation for the <br />upcoming off-season. The facility has <br />offered a refreshing retreat throughout <br />the hot months. For those who will miss <br />the water feature, local parks and <br />recreational facilities will continue to <br />offer various activities and amenities <br />throughout the fall season. <br />Water Feature at Pioneer Park Closing 9/2 <br />Parks and Recreation Updates
