Gamiing's Buckthorn Removal Project:[10] Buckthorn is a lovely shrub with dark green glossy leaves that do not fall off until late November. The branches are covered with berries. However, this species is not native to the area and is very invasive. It was introduced to Ontario in the early 1800s when farmers came from Scotland, Ireland and England to our area and brought these shrubs with them to fence their newly created farms fields. Once it is established it will crowd out native species such as maple and oak. Gamiing worked with ten almost-graduates of the Eco System Management Technician Program of Fleming College as a work placement to help eradicate the non-native species.
