Leave your legacy by helping plant the Dana Building's Garden

Come enjoy the fall weather, dig a few holes, and leave your legacy by helping plant the Dana Building's Garden!  

The native landscape in the Dana Garden is a key element to Dana's Gold LEED rating, and has been redesigned by students over the last two years.  As a step in the long-term redesign + build, as well as care + maintenance of the garden, this fall the third-year MLA Planting Design course undertook a planting design process which is culminating in a school-wide volunteer day!  

When: Tuesday, Oct. 23. 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Lisa F. Garcia delivers EJ conference keynote

“To the advocates: keep us honest and hold our feet to the fire,” said Lisa F. Garcia, the U.S. Environmental Protections Agency’s senior advisor to the administrator for environmental justice, told a crowd of activists and academics in Ann Arbor Friday. The occasion of her keynote address was a conference to celebrate the life work of Bunyan Bryant, the co-founder of the Environmental Justice program at the School of Natural Resources and Environment and a beloved mentor to many alumni. Rather than a traditional retirement party, Bryant wanted to end his career with a conference that also would chart the future of the movement and serve academics and activists alike.
