More Marathon Pundit Photo Series: The Former 111th Street Garbage Dump

As I noted yesterday, Cottonwood trees thrive in disturbed soils, such as the onetime garbage dump at 111th Street and LaGrange Road in unincorporated Palos Township, Illinois.

Unfortunately, European Buckthorn, pictured here, an invasive species, also prospers in such an environment.

Cottonwoods pave the way for such important trees as Oaks and Hickories.

Buckthorns choke out such species.
