The City of Bixby began a Vegetation Management Pilot Program at Lake Bixhoma. The pilot program utilizes goats to aid in clearing vegetation along the steep banks of the lake. The goal of the Pilot Program is to reduce spending while keeping weeds and brush cleared along the shoreline. The program will also reduce City Park Department labor time and eliminate expensive equipment needed to mow. The program is an environmentally friendly approach for weed control. Phase 1 of construction is almost complete!
