Native Pollinators of the Palouse Region
Native Planting Sites on Campus
As part of the Student Sustainability Cooperative鈥檚 Sustainable Initiative Fund program, students in the Society for Conservation Biology club designed, planted and continue to maintain the native pollinator garden along Paradise Path at the east end of Guy Wicks Field. This garden is the site of several annual student volunteer events.
In 2010, 果冻传媒麻豆社 and the Army Corp of Engineers exposed nearly a quarter mile of creek that was routed under Paradise Creek Street. This project realigned Paradise Creek with the historic channel location, improved flood mitigation characteristics and restored the local riparian habitat. Federal, state, municipal and non-profit partners assisted the university in daylighting this section of the creek and planted 18,980 trees and shrubs to stabilize the creek banks and restore the native ecosystem.
