Student sustainability efforts are removing buckthorn to make room for a rain garden and pollinator park

Environmental Science student, Emma Johnson, and Environment, Sustainability, and Geography student, Sidney Mattson, are doing exactly that by working with the Office of Sustainability to remove the invasive buckthorn on campus, they're making room for a rain garden and pollinator park.
