The Green Initiatives Team at Work on Earth Day!

The SUS Green Initiatives Team, directed by Dan Lohaus, was very busy on Earth Day this last week. After 36,000 lbs. of organic soil were delivered, the team had the difficult task of delivering the soil to 5 different residences for their urban gardens (Knickerbocker, Chester, Dewitt, March Hart and Throop). After the hard labor of building and preparing the beds are completed, the team will start planting and cultivating crops.

The SUS Urban Agriculture program, now in its second year, is dedicated to providing a sustainable source of vegetables for our residences. The gardening is very therapeutic to those who work the gardens, and has become very popular with the residents. We hope they have a bumper crop this year. Click here to learn more on getting involved with Urban Agriculture at SUS.
