Buckthorn
This invasive species is commonly found in many of the wooded areas in Chanhassen. This City encourages residents to be educated about this woody plant and eradicate it where possible. The Minnesota DNR has an excellent
publication about the plant and how to remove it.
Weed Wrench

The wrench is available for a three-day rental. A $150 deposit is required and will be returned when the wrench is checked back in. Call City Hall at 952-227-1100 to reserve the tool.
