MSU Pollinator Gardens
Project Description
Join us in making a positive impact on our campus! Volunteer with Sustainable Spartans, the Office of Sustainability, and Beal Botanical Gardens to help prepare the beautiful pollinator gardens along the Red Cedar River. We’ll be working together to remove invasive species, weed, and lay mulch to create a thriving environment for local pollinators. All tools and materials will be provided by MSU Infrastructure and Planning Facilities. Come lend a hand, connect with nature, and be part of a team making a difference. Be Spartan Green!
