When you visit your local garden center this spring, are you thinking about the effects of your landscaping on ecosystems and wildlife?

Professor Bethany Bradley argues that climate change and reducing harm from invasive species should be part of our goals for home gardening. Her team recently launched a new website, https://ift.tt/Y2RDjty, to help you learn more and identify climate-smart plants for home gardening.

Bethany discussed this work at the Charlemont Forum: tinyurl.com/CharlemontForumBradley https://instagr.am/p/DYFHz8qkQrb/

Three BCT students (Annabel, Deepika, and Shakira) attended the 2026 Women Who Build Summit last month.

This provided an opportunity to establish connections and a deep understanding of the industry!

What a great group to represent ECo! � Great job! https://instagr.am/p/DYAcOA6kSht/
