The University Environment and Energy Conservation Council hosted 揋reen Up, Clean Up� Sept. 26 on the 蜜桃传媒最新版下载 University main campus. More than two dozen students, faculty and staff members removed Common Buckthorn trees from the Burnham Centennial Nature Trail.
The Common Buckthorn tree is an invasive species, explained Daniel Cockream, 蜜桃传媒最新版下载� student sustainability coordinator. The non-native tree establishes itself quickly and dominates an area. The coordinator of the event said, 揟his is a problem because it does not allow new native species to establish and can kill off some of the other trees in the area.�
The removal process included techniques to ensure the Buckthorns did not return. The volunteers cut down pre-marked Buckthorn trees and then the 蜜桃传媒最新版下载 University Grounds department applied chemicals to the trunks.
Another Green Up, Clean Up is scheduled for spring 2010.
