Remember when we said more trees were coming? They’re here!

Last spring, we shared the difficult news of trees being removed near Cowley Hall to make way for the Prairie Springs Science Center project. Now we are so excited to introduce some of the new trees planted across UWL’s campus! 🌱

As our campus continues to grow and change, we’re excited to watch trees grow right along with it. And we want you to meet some of its newest additions! 👀

Check out our Instagram Story every Thursday for our new series, Trees on Thursdays, where we’ll introduce you to different trees that call UWL home! 🌲🍃

There’s beauty in the Eagle Pollinator Gardens all year round. Right now, Sky Blue Aster, New England Aster, False Aster, and Evening Primrose are bringing color to campus and the bees and butterflies are loving it too! 🌿

Take a closer look on your next walk around campus you might be surprised by how much is still blooming!

Happy World Car Free Day!

Today is a reminder that small changes in how we get around can make a big difference. Whether you bike, walk, carpool, or take public transportation, choosing to go car-free can help reduce emissions while keeping you active and connected to your community. 🚲 🌍
