Upcoming Events
Maryland Day
Stop by our booth in the Animal Science courtyard to participate in our Green Wall project! Visitors will be planting our native flora in the planters that will be hung on shelves within the wall. We will also be selling yummy treats that are themed with our projects, such as seaweed (ATS project) and miso soup (stream restoration). We look forward to seeing you there!
