REPORT FROM OUR DECEMBER EVENT

We had around 50 community members join us on December 12 to honor the site of our newest native plant garden and plant close to 1500 plants from over 30 species. A special thank you to Brenda Flyswithhawks for blessing this space and to all who have helped with the creation of this garden.

The SRJC Campus Biodiversity Initiative is a partnership between students, staff, faculty, and community members working to enhance campus as habitat for native plants and animals and as an educational resource for our community. Through hands-on, outdoor work, we create connections with nature, build community and support mental well-being while making a positive impact on campus.

Partners include the Biology Department, Environmental Horticulture Program, the Avanzando Initiative, SRJC Native American Center, SRJC Inter-Tribal Student, SRJC American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES), SRJC Biology Club, SRJC Outdoor Club, Union and SRJC Facilities Operations. Contact jpalladini@santarosa.edu if you'd like to get involved.
