Buckthorn Removal Singles Club is a club focused on environmental and community restoration. The group is open to adults of all ages, genders, and sexualities.

Much as the capitalist landscape has led to natural spaces which are polluted, non-diverse, eroding, and choked by invasive species; capitalist management of our social environment has resulted in an online dating scene which is toxic, transactional, and unrooted in community. With online dating accounting for over 50% of new relationships (2025) and all other methods of meeting people in quick decline, it can begin to feel taboo to get friends to set you up on a date or ask out a stranger in public. The aim of this group is to bring people together in community over shared values and provide an alternative to the monoculture of online dating, where friendships and relationships can grow rooted in the nourishing soil of community care.
