AWPE 210: Trail Building/Invasive Species Control

Help conserve nature!  This course combines physical activity with the purpose of conserving Earlham's natural forest preserves in the Richmond area. Some trails need to be built to control trampling and to facilitate teaching and research. In addition, all areas are being invaded by exotic plant species that compete with native species. Activities include hauling materials, building trail structures, digging contours, planting trees and pulling and digging up invasive shrubs.
