An environmental group in the Chicago suburb on Glencoe has riled up local homeowners who claim that the removal of invasive species may lower their property values and cause various other sundry problems. The excepted paragraph is a truly amazing glimpse into the liberal mind. I suspect most of the people protesting are leaders in their Home Owners Association.

Wouldn’t lowering property values lower taxes?
They could always raise property values before selling.

Let me tell you bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.....
Invasive species are problems and should be removed
Many places will not grant a building or addition permit unless all invasive are removed
Most Extension services have lists of native or friendly substitutes that can be planted after removal
This buckthorn appears particularly nasty

But some trail neighbors in Glencoe cited concerns over diminished property values, saying that if the invasive plants were removed, it would cause more noise since the plants might buffer street sounds, additional light coming into homes from car traffic on Green Bay Road and a decrease in security for children who will be crossing nearby tracks." Replace the invasive plants with a native species of similar characteristics, you dumbasses.

I hate buckthorn.
I take concentrated (41%) glyphosate (Roundup, but I usually buy Home Depot’s generic version) and add some food coloring to the bottle.
When I find a buckthorn bush I cannot rip out of the ground, roots and all, I chop it low to the ground and paint the stump with the concentrated glyphosate using a foam brush. The food coloring helps me see which stumps I’ve painted, and which I’ve missed. That helps when you chop down a whole bush and you have multiple stumps. If you miss a stump, it will grow right back.
