celebrate Earth Day at R-N
Earth Day at Rutgers Newark 2011

Earth Day at Rutgers Newark was started in 2005 as a one day event at the Newark Conservancy. It has since grown to include a day of service on campus and a day at the Newark Conservancy's Urban Garden.

Over the years volunteers have created two sustainable gardens on campus, a native grasses garden, and installed a bird pond so the over 100 types of birds that visit campus every year have a place to drink.

Our campus became even MORE sustainable in 2011! This year volunteers on campus took out invasive ivy and planted native trees and shrubs on the plaza and helped at the Greater Newark Conservancy's urban garden nearby.

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!
