The fast-growing invasive buckthorn shrub is spreading out of control in our local parks and woodlands. It is edging out native plants and threatening the safety, diversity and vitality of our urban forest.
Join your neighbors at an upcoming buckthorn removal event. (Buckthorn Bust) In just one to two hours your help will make a big difference. We’ll target the female plants with berries/seeds first.
Working as a team, volunteers will use the cut-stump removal method to remove and kill buckthorn.
Go to removebadplants.com to watch demonstrational videos to see how easy it is to remove buckthorn.
If you have any of the following tools, please consider bringing them. Safety glasses and gloves are recommended. Please bring loppers, hand pruners, hands saws, sawz-alls and chainsaws. See in action at removebadplants.com
