Widener to Celebrate Sustainability with Tree Planting
Chester,
Pa. – Widener students and faculty will celebrate Earth Day a few days early by
planting trees and installing a new garden on campus on Thursday, April 19. The
event is part of Widener’s April Sustainability Series, which has been
showcasing the university’s sustainability efforts throughout the month.
Starting
at 2 p.m.,
Widener students and faculty will plant three to four cherry trees and will
repair a drainage area near Kapelski Hall. They will then install a garden as
part of Widener’s new sustainability and civic engagement curricular pathway.
Last
year, the College of Arts & Sciences received a $25,000 grant from the
Teagle Foundation to pilot the development of a new curricular pathway. The
three-year grant was awarded in a competitive process and was made possible
through Widener’s affiliation with Project Pericles and the Lang Foundation.
The pathway now comprises 14 general education courses that span nine
departments in the College of Arts & Sciences.
Media
interested in attending can contact Jessica Reyes with any questions.
WHO: Approximately 30 – 50 students and
faculty are expected to participate.

community will plant three to four cherry trees, repair a drainage area, and
