• Greensboro and others debate herbicide use on invasives (northstarmonthly.com) — Greensboro’s Conservation Commission has secured $3,000 to test glyphosate on invasive knotweed at Highland Lodge, sparking debate over safety and consistency with the town’s Pollinator Resolution. Local groups, including Pollinator Friendly Greensboro and Bee The Change, are weighing mechanical removal against carefully regulated herbicide use, and the GCC plans more public outreach and education events to keep residents involved.
