Experimental eradication of invasive plant species: a laboratory report presented to Dr. Tom Whillans in [sic] Trent Centre for Community-Based Education 3830 Y
Trent Nature Areas are community based recreational areas and members of the community have expressed a concern with the proliferation of Rhamnus cathartica, commonly known as the Common Buckthorn or alias European Buckthorn.
