Buckthorn Removal & Maintenance
Buckthorn might look harmless, but it’s a major problem for our local ecosystems.
This invasive shrub spreads fast, choking out native plants and taking over forests, wetlands, and prairies. It forms thick, tangled thickets that block sunlight, making it nearly impossible for other plants to grow. That’s bad news for wildlife, too—many animals rely on native plants for food and shelter, and buckthorn just doesn’t cut it.
In addition, buckthorn drains nutrients from the soil and even releases chemicals that prevent other plants from growing. Its berries may seem like a good food source for birds, but they’re actually low in nutrition and help spread the problem even further.
