The Problem
Our students are working on a few projects while addressing an issue with storm water runoff on campus. Students are designing rain gardens to address the runoff problem but are also researching native plants that will benefit pollinators. An extension to the project has other groups working on stream restoration and making observational study areas along the stream created by runoff. Students will be removing invasive species with the help of naturalist from the Ohio Division of Natural Resources and planting native plants to add biodiversity to the natural area while also supporting pollinators.
