Lagoon Park is a wildlife preserve of 34 acres of wetlands on Lakeshore Drive with walking paths, fishing platforms and other attractions. The Canandaigua Botanical Society is supportive of the efforts to remove invasive buckthorn to enable restoration of native plant species to improve the habitat and ecosystem of the flora and fauna.
