[ARCHIVED] Fighting Back Against Buckthorn

Buckthorn Thumb

Do you have a Buckthorn problem on your land?  Have you almost given up trying to control this invasive tree?   Are you interested in receiving guidance on how best to control Buckthorn on your property?

St. Croix County Land and Water Conservation is part of the St. Croix–Red Cedar Cooperative Weed Management Area (SC-RC CWMA), which is a collaborative of invasive species managers coordinated by the Wild Rivers Conservancy. The SC-RC CWMA work area encompasses St. Croix, Polk, Barron, Washburn, and Burnett Counties. It is dedicated to fostering multi-generational awareness of invasive species and using partnerships to prevent and limit the intrusive impacts of those invasive species.
