This work party is to continue with our invasive buckthorn removal at St.Pauls Nature Reserve.We are hoping to get lots of volunteers out and tackle this area in one work party per year.
Volunteers make a difference – come out & join us!
Invasive buckthorn removal methods vary based on how big the buckthorn is – small plants can be pulled by hand and hung upside down so the roots dry out and die. Medium sized are removed with the help of extractigators – special shovel like tools that make pulling much easier & large buckthorn “trees” must be cut with a chainsaw.
BTC Ecologists as well as certified chain sawyers will be there to help us.
Plan on arriving so we can all walk in together at 10am but it’s an easy walk out if anybody wants to leave after a shorter amount of time.
Remember to wear long pants, long sleeves, work gloves, bring lots of water & bring a lunch if you are staying for the duration!
Please register so you will be included in any relevant correspondence.
