Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌿
Today, DSU students and staff came together to care for our campus by cleaning up the woodland trail by removing invasive plants and clearing the path to make it more accessible for everyone to enjoy.

It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we work together to protect and restore our natural spaces. Here’s to keeping our campus beautiful, sustainable, and thriving for years to come! 💚

We’re excited to share the installation of a new native pollinator garden right next to the DSU Agilent Hub for Agriculture, Innovation and Extension building on campus. This space was brought to life through the hard work and collaboration of dedicated staff and students who care deeply about sustainability and environmental stewardship.

The garden features native plants that provide essential habitat and food for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. By supporting these species, we’re helping to strengthen our local ecosystem and promote biodiversity right here on campus.

Projects like this remind us that even small actions can have a meaningful impact. Stop by, take a look, and celebrate Earth Week with us by appreciating the beauty and importance of our natural world! 🌱🐝 Delaware State University
