Dear Fellow Pond Bosses,
We have a poison ivy problem on the wooded paths around our club's beautiful five acre pond. Can anyone give me some advice on the safest way to eradicate it or should I just suggest the membership wear long pants? I have researched various chemical sprays but I am not that enthusiastic about spraying right along the water's edge. Is there any product designed to help with this problem?
Thanks!

"No life, my honest Scholar, no life so happy and so pleasant, as the life of a well-governed Angler; for when the Lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the States-man is preventing or contriving plots, then we sit on Cowslip- banks, hear the birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much quietness as these silent silver streams, which we now see glide so quietly by us."
