Buckthorn is a highly invasive shrub that forms dense thickets and crowds out native plants. Join this virtual program and learn how to identify buckthorn, find out why it threatens wildlife habitat and native species, and learn how to control it in your own landscape. Alternative replacement shrubs will be discussed.

Presented by Matt Evans, Managing Ecologist of Woodlands at the Chicago Botanic Garden’s Negaunee Institute for Plant Conservation Science and Action.
