On a recent Saturday, my husband and I went running through a dog-friendly local park. We met many other early morning denizens on the paths, including children and animals running freely across the fields. We also happened upon something that caused us concern: around the edge of the lawn, apparently unseen by parents and pet owners, were small signs advising caution, and urging individuals to stay off the grass. There had been a pesticide application two hours before.
