Fall colors for the native paw paw. There’s a nice little orchard of these fruiting trees right on the Hammond campus.

Spotted this beautiful question mark butterfly outside of University Services the other day. For those of you that signed up for emails be on the lookout for a volunteer opportunity at soon! Their monarch way stations needs our help!

Did you try some paw paw fruit this year? It’s ripe now and can be found by SULB.

Woohoo what a rally! We made lots of new friends today, got to talk about Pawpaws, and shared dance moves 💃 🕺 To anyone who signed up for communications, be on the look out for a volunteer opportunity soon!

It was great to see everyone returned and welcome the new class of 2027! Come check us out at Hammond Welcome Rally on Thurs. We love to make new friends.

Agreed...we all should have a right to a "clean, healthy and sustainable environment". 😃🌎

Interesting info to help monarchs and native pollinators.

With the recent news of the Monarch Butterfly being added to the Endangered list, the Elkhart Environmental Center is sharing this Monarch nectar plant list from the Xerces Society for the Midwest Region. Many home gardeners and businesses may respond to the news by planting more milkweed (the host plants), but Monarchs need other nectar sources to fuel their journey. Those plants can support native bumblebees, Monarchs and a whole host of other native birds and insects at the same time. Hope this is helpful to those wanting to do their part! https://xerces.org/sites/default/files/publications/18-003_02_Monarch-Nectar-Plant-Lists-FS_web%20-%20Jessa%20Kay%20Cruz.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0qWASnGoMvNPGLZHZlHifCxDTKJMNB-WSk7Nr7EoA4x9cIAeAvPi9khmM

This looks like a great idea especially where space is somewhat limited or when people experience limited mobility.

Steep garden beds avoid compaction from increased pressure over time. Steep beds mean more surface area in your garden for your plants and the height makes it easy for harvesting. The greater the mass, the greater water-retention benefits.

A few blooms outside of Nils that are part of a natural oasis on the Hammond campus.

Honors college students learned the proper way to plant a tree from Communitree and SCA today. Who knew it would be more complicated than digging a hole and throwing a tree in?! Several new species were planted around the Hammond campus today. Thanks to all that came out to help!

Join us tomorrow at 9 am, Hammond 169th St entrance or Westville LSF patio for our Arbor Day planting ceremony tomorrow.

Happy Earth Day! If you can do one thing for the planet today, please do it.

As you may have noticed, our organization is going beyond recycling and embracing the circular economy. This shift was motivated by the recognition that recycling, on its own, is not enough. Waste is a big problem, and our current system for managing it isn’t sustainable from an economic, social, or environmental perspective. The circular economy is the solution—but what is the circular economy, anyway? Learn more at circularindiana.org/post/what-is-a-circular-economy
