I have been working on getting funding for Buckthorn removal in Seward for several years. I want to thank the Park Board environmental and forestry crews and the great volunteers who showed up to haul out this invasive species from the river gorge.
In one area there were 28 ft. trees and areas that was entirely Buckthorn thickets- all now wood chips. I want to thank Marcia Holmberg from the Park Board and Elizabeth Storey from the Friends of the Mississippi who helped organize this event and Great River Greening who are doing forest restoration in this area. Thanks to Gary for coordinating the Forestry crew and to Elwood whose infectious enthusiasm for cutting down buckthorn is a joy to behold. We have some great folks working for the Park Board and it was pleasure working with them this weekend. Thanks, Scott Vreeland Seward REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
