Operation Thicket Breach: Lock & Load Buckthorn Has Been Warned

Operation Thicket Breach is back.

This time, we're locking and loading.

Boots on.
Blade installed.
Safety gear on.
Battery loaded.
Trigger pulled.

And then there's Enemy #1: Buckthorn.

The mission continues as we clear invasive growth and work to reclaim the field for native plants, pollinators, and the wildlife that depends on them.

Not everything makes it through the operation. Some goldenrod becomes an unfortunate casualty along the way.

But then a bee shows up.

And suddenly, you remember exactly why we're doing this. 🐝

The final few seconds say more than all the heavy metal in the world: a quiet summer field, bees buzzing, and a landscape slowly being given room to recover.

Operation Thicket Breach — restoring habitat one piece of ground at a time.
