Fighting Back Against Buckthorn

Water Quality & Conservation Posted on July 09, 2025

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.

The CWMA is sponsoring Buckthorn Treatment Workshops this late summer and fall to help educate landowners about the best methods for achieving buckthorn removal on their properties.
