Episode Details

Burlington’s Parks Department is turning the fight against invasive buckthorn into a community-powered mission at Oakledge Park, where volunteers are pulling new shoots from cut stumps — a simple, chemical-free method that’s already showing real results. This effort is part of a larger push to eradicate invasive species like knotweed and honeysuckle across the city, with more residents stepping up to help. Success is already visible, and plans are underway to expand volunteer zones while planting native flowers this fall to restore habitats and boost local wildlife. The goal? Empower residents to spot and tackle invasive plants in their own yards, turning everyday citizens into stewards of Vermont’s natural beauty.
