Seasonal Restoration Work Day!! The Science Department and the Forest Preserve of Will County organized the event and with the help of dedicated community members, JJC staff, faculty and students. We were able to remove Buckthorne tree from along the bike trail at JJC. Rhamnus cathartica, colloquially known as common buckthorn is a deciduous shrub or a small tree native to Europe.
