Buckthorn and Barberry Blast

Spread over 3 days of work, 3 teams of volunteers surveyed over 30 acres of Wildcat Park for 2 nasty invasive species; Common Buckthorn and Japanese Barberry. When identified, these invasive shrubs/trees were pulled or cut and stump treated to kill the plant and prevent further spread. Many thanks to Catherine, Gavyn, Mary, Ben, Ryan, Emily, Scott and Marla for their effort to stop these invasives and preserve the beauty and diversity of native ecosystems at Wildcat. Special thanks to ISG of La Crosse for allowing their employees to participate in this effort as part of their community Impact Day volunteer efforts.
