- **Event Name**: Volunteer Event - Buckthorn Removal
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Jun, 2025 at 02:30 pm – Tue, 17 Jun, 2025 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Looking to get involved? Join SWWD at Hasenbank Park on Tuesday, June 17th, for a buckthorn removal event! Buckthorn is a highly invasive plant that quickly becomes established and occupies the understory of wooded areas, choking out other species and resulting in reduced biodiversity and degraded habitat. 

How will the buckthorn be removed? 
With clippers and loppers! Buckthorn is an aggressive species that is difficult to remove and can be physically taxing. But while plants are young and smaller, clipping or lopping buckthorn can interrupt its growth cycle, weakening the plant. 

What should I bring? 
There is a limited number of hand tools available, so please bring your clippers and loppers from home! You should also bring gloves, water and a snack, and bug spray (we will be in the woods). 

What should I wear? 
Since we will be in the woods, long pants and long-sleeved shirts will protect against branches, itchy plants, and sticks best. Work boots or hiking boots should be worn. A hat may be beneficial, too. Expect to get a bit dirty!

When should I arrive? 
The removal begins at 2:30PM, but volunteers are welcome to stop by anytime during the event window (2:30-6PM) that they can. Volunteers are not expected to participate for the full event unless they want to!

Where will we meet?
SWWD staff will meet attendees along Water Lily Lane, immediately west of St. Johns Drive in Woodbury. Parking is very limited (there is no parking lot, only street parking), so please be mindful of neighboring housing and consider walking, biking, or carpooling!
