Habitat Certification

I'm happy to share on behalf of my Project SEED team that our on-campus native plant habitats have earned certification through the Native Plant Initiative of Greater New Orleans and the National Wildlife Federation. We hosted a certification event on July 6th that was attended by members of the UNO community, as well as the public.

One example of wellness related signs added to our campus space. These will be added to other parts of campus, as well.

One our plants, along with painted rocks that were added to the garden. In April, we hosted a public rock painting event.
