Ecology students, under the direction of Asst. Prof. Richard Hall, work to restore conditions in Oconee Forest Park by removing invasive plants.

Ecology students spent two class periods in February working to restore conditions in Oconee Forest Park, the 60-acre natural area near the intramural fields at Lake Herrick. The students were led by Richard Hall, assistant professor with a joint appointment in the Odum School of Ecology and the College of Veterinary Medicine.
