Tools & Equipment:

Please bring your own preferred tools. If you require equipment, do notify us.
Process:
Our objective is to snip the buckthorn stems as close to the ground as feasible. Post-cutting, we will apply Garlon 3 on the stump. If you possess a daubing kit, kindly bring it along and inform us if you have or don't have this item.
