    Is this a Sea Buckthorn and how did it get here and why? (Campbell Valley Regional Park, Langley, BC ... mostly a working farm at one point)

    Yes Sea-buckthorn is right; presumably someone planted it there, unless it is a bird-sown naturalised plant.

    Could have been planted on a farm for its fruits or for other reasons.

    We usually use oil extracted from the fruits as a remedy for treating skin burns.
