Controlling sea buckthorn Hippophae
Due to its invasive qualities attempts to control the species on a number of
sand dune sites with a high nature conservation values have been undertaken.
The general methods employed included:
- Cutting of the scrub by hand (time consuming and costly)
- using a variety of types of machinery;
- Treatment of the stumps with herbicides;
- Burning;
- Removal of litter.

General guidance: For specific information on the techniques applied,
see particularly experience from the Sefton
Coast. A recent review of the status of the species within
the Lincolnshire coast candidate Special Area of Conservation commissioned
by English Nature has proposed a management
scheme which involves partial control of the species.
