Burnham Centennial Nature Trail gets spring cleaning during Earth Month

ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½×îаæÏÂÔØ University students, faculty and staff celebrated Earth Day and Arbor Day with clean-up and restoration efforts on the Romeoville campus.

On April 22, volunteers removed buckthorn and invasive species along the Burnham Centennial Nature Trail on the Romeoville campus.
