Buckthorn - Don't forget about our Extractigators

Last year, you may recall, our invasive species focus was on Buckthorn and its removal using our newly acquired ‘Extratigators’. Our Lake Association was able to purchase two Extractigator tools thanks to a grant from Watersheds Canada and the Daniel & Susan Gottloeb Foundation. These Extractigators make removal of the highly invasive Buckthorn shrubs much easier and are available to borrow at no cost to our members by
emailing your request to presidentblla63@gmail.com.
