Learn how to identify buckthorn, remove it and replace it in your yard!

Buckthorn has harmful effects on surrounding trees, wildlife and native landscapes. Learn from an expert why these invasive woody plants need to be removed and how to establish a plan for eradication. Our presenter, Matt Ueltzen, Restoration Ecologist, LCFPD, has more than 20 years’ experience conserving habitats in the region.
