Keenan Costelow of Lebanon and Roderick Lonsinger of Albany hack and pry at a tree covered in English Ivy on a trail near Gill's Landing in Lebanon on Saturday. More than 30 high school students from the Santiam Wilderness Academy, YouthBuild, and Lebanon High School worked to plant trees and remove more than 1,000 pounds of the invasive ivy Saturday during a SOLV event in honor of Global Youth Service Day.

The project is an opportunity for students and young people to make a positive impact in their community, explained Hilary McAlister, an AmeriCorps VISTA coordinator at the CSC Lebanon Regional Office.
