Middle school kids get the chance to learn about our local forests and help save them from invasive species.
About 70 seventh graders from Lincoln Middle School in La Crosse teamed up with Mississippi Valley Conservancy for a field trip to the south side bluffs.
Conservationists taught kids about the prairies, forests and invasive species in our bluffs. The seventh graders learned how to indentify honeysuckle and buckthorn trees and helped remove them from the southern bluffs.
One of the conservationists says it will take about 30 years to clear all of the invasive species out of the area.
