Soil disturbance facilitates the spread of invasive species. Invasive species are <br />opportunistic, always looking for places to establish and gain the upper hand in our natural <br />landscapes. <br />●Due to safety concerns no cutting or removal of any specimen over 2 inches in diameter without prior <br />approval. <br />●Please do not use buckthorn baggies, plastic bags, tarps, or cans to kill stumps without prior MPRB <br />approval. Methods such as these need constant monitoring to prevent them from becoming a potential <br />source of litter. <br />●Volunteers are not allowed to use chemicals or power equipment. Hand tools only. <br />●Any deviation from the above guidelines must be approved by the MPRB prior to implementation. <br />Helpful Buckthorn Links <br />●MPRB Natural Areas Management <br />●MPRB Invasive Species <br />●MN Department of Agriculture: Buckthorn <br />●MN DNR Buckthorn Identification <br />Email to learn more about MPRB Invasive Species volunteer opportunities.
