The Emerging Leaders Group (ELG) recently volunteered their time at the Urban Ecology Center. The group dedicated a couple of hours to removing invasive buckthorn plants in Washington Park. They managed, bundled, and flagged areas in the park – all while it was pouring rain, making for a fun but soggy time!
