This introductory workshop is for Eden Prairie and RPBCWD residents and will provide an overview on how to identify and manage buckthorn. You must be registered to attend.
Workshop topics include:
• How to identify buckthorn
• Methods for controlling
• Site considerations
• Long-term site maintenance
• Support from the City and RPBCWD
The first part of the workshop will be a presentation inside the park building. The second part of the workshop will occur outside, off-trail in nearby woods so you can practice identification skills and control methods.
Wear sturdy, close-toed shoes for walking on uneven terrain. Pants and long sleeves are also recommended. Bring landscaping/gardening gloves if you have them. Tick/insect repellant is advised as we will be walking through vegetation.
Please note: Registration is limited to households located within Eden Prairie and/or the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District (find out if you live in the district at rpbcwd.org/map).
