County eyes removing ash from Campus Woods in Medford
Since 2008, local DNR, county forestry and conservation groups have worked with Medford Area Middle School 5th graders to clear buckthorn in the community. For many years the program focused on stands in the Medford City Park.

Students used loppers to cut down the invasive shrubs. Management of them include continued cutting and removal of the plants. BRIAN WILSON/THE STAR NEWS
