Garden Work Day Event - Dead Day

Thanks to all who attended our garden mulching event!

Awesome group of volunteers!

We had a great time at our last project day for the student garden. The project day focused on getting the mulch down around the beds to help suppress the grass. We had 11 people come and help out. Thanks to everyone who showed up! Also, thanks again to everyone who donated leaves for the garden last quarter!

Project Annoucement: Educational Restoration Zone on Campus at SCC

 

Each of the students on the Bigfoot Sustainability Committee are picking a project to focus on. Daron will be focusing on a possible Educational Restoration Zone on campus at SCC. The above image outlines the area that is being considered for the project.

The goal with this project is have an area on campus that can serve as an outdoor learning and demostration area for students and the community. If this project is approved it will be possible for classes to go on field trips on campus and it will serve as a demonstration area for what a restoration project is and the benefits it can provide.

The project outline can be viewed after the break.

Welcome back and... the garden beds are completed!

Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic winter break and awesome time over the holidays.
