Members of our College Park Scholars 13 programs are known to make an impact on campus 🏫 life but did you know they could also have a lasting impact on the LIFE 🌿 on campus?
Just a short walk from the Cambridge Community stands the Wooded Hillock, a wooded area that ETE Scholars secured funding for to build a trail through several years ago. In the late 1990s, the area was looked at for development, but students and faculty rallied for its preservation.
Recently, ETE made the short trip and spend hours sitting still, taking note of the small wonders in nature. They even used tools like Merlin, iNaturalist, and good, old-fashioned keys to get to know the non-human residents of campus.
If need to take a break and reconnect with nature, you can thank ETE Scholars as you stroll through the lovely Wooded Hillock!
