Please join Professor Melanie Trecek-King and her Issues in Environmental Science students as they plant a Sustainable Native New England Garden on the Brockton campus quad on Thursday, April 30 at 10:00 a.m. This project is supported by a Raise Your Voice Presidential Civic Engagement Activity Fund grant from the Massachusetts and Rhode Island Campus Compacts.The garden is part of an ongoing effort – spearheaded by Massasoit’s Sustainability Task Force Landscaping Committee – to rid the campus of invasive plant species and introduce native, non-invasive plants that are adapted to the New England environment and can thrive with minimal watering and maintenance.
Vice President of Administration Betty Ann Learned will speak at the planting about Massasoit’s sustainability initiatives since President Charles Wall signed the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment in 2007. Special guest will be Barbara Canyes, Executive Director of Massachusetts Campus Compact.
