In this Picture I'm cutting down the invasive Buckthorn bush. For the past 2 years I have been participating in workdays by the Chicago river to try to eliminate Buckthorn. On this day we cut down other plants as well but our main focus was Buckthorn. It was explained to us by the project leader that Buckthorn poisons the ground not allowing other plants to grow. Then it will spread its seeds and take over the area. By cutting them down and dabbing herbicide on the top of the stump this can kill the bush and alows new life to sprout.
