Buckthorn Pull in Hauberg Woods

Along with other members of the Northfield Garden Club, I will be leading a group of volunteers in removing buckthorn from Hauberg Woods city park on Saturday, May 17th from 1pm to 4pm. Left unchecked, buckthorn will take over the forest and displace native trees and wildlife. Hauberg Woods is located at the corner of Lockwood Drive and Thye Parkway on the north edge of Northfield. It is a natural park with forest and wetland.

Our group has been working on this project for three years and we have cleared about two or three acres. In order to keep buckthorn out of the twenty or so acres of wooded area, we will need our efforts to grow. Please join us in our quest to rid Hauberg Woods of this menace.
