Lisa Slupianek, with Southwest Conservation Corps, uses an ax on a Russian olive tree Saturday at the Juniper School. The Durango Daybreak Rotary Club will deliver the wood to senior citizens or low-income families in need.
The Mountain Studies Institute, which coordinated the removal, will teach Juniper School students about invasive and native species as part of the project.
Russian olives were first introduced to the Durango area in the 1970s and 1980s. They can out-compete native plants, like willows and cottonwoods.
