Re: [UC] RoundUp burning is visible

Actually, I am getting a bit muddled following this discussion thread. If the Friends of Clark Park don't really have any say or input as to what happens in Clark Park whether its plantings or chemicals used in the park, for what reason do they exist? The Fairmount Park System is one of the best

Re: [UC] News about Clark Park herbicide

Given the link I posted on this listserv yesterday about Monsanto's knowing the active ingredient in Roundup has caused birth defects is at least noteworthy. Today here's a different link: http://newyorkcity.injuryboard.com/defective-and-dangerous-products/new-rep ort-says-roundup-pesticide-cause
