The College of New Jersey is making room for native plants, and students are digging it.
Public Health student Hanna Stutzman helps establish new native plantings at The College of New Jersey.
"I think this generation is very interested in climate change and solutions, right?" says Kathleen Weber, a professor of journalism and professional writing at the college."They don't want to hear the doom and gloom, but they want to say, okay, what can we do to live in a better world? So that's what we're trying to do."
As part of Shakow's class, students teamed up to lead projects that tackled a climate or environmental problem. Saving bees and other pollinators were always high on the list because the loss of biodiversity is a huge problem and as Shakow says,"It's as significant as climate change."The students set about creating pollinator habitats on the traditionally maintained campus grounds.
