Healthy Hedges

🌳 Common buckthorn, an invasive species, is the most common tree in Lake County. It makes up 52.2% of all trees here and 36% of all trees in Chicagoland. 😵‍💫
The good news? You can help by removing buckthorn from your home landscape. 💚 Learn how and why in this recording of our Healthy Hedges program, presented by Environmental Communications Specialist Brett Peto and Matt Ueltzen, manager of restoration ecology.
They share best practices for buckthorn removal, the impacts of buckthorn on local habitats and ways you can manage this invasive shrub. ✨
