Join Drake facilities and Drake’s Environmental Action League Oct. 20 from 10 a.m.–3 p.m. to help plant native plants in a bioretention cell on Drake’s campus. Stop by as time allows. Register here on DUGood and receive verification for your hours.

A bioretention cell reduces flooding and improves the quality of water that runs off of our campus. Wear shoes and clothes you are comfortable getting planting native flowers in. Snacks and drinks will be provided by DEAL and SAA while supplies last.

Installation site is in front of Harvey Ingham Hall, across the Reflection Pond.

Stop by whenever works for you. Wear shoes and clothes you are comfortable planting in. Tools and gloves will be provided.

This project is a student led initiative and is funded by the generous support of the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the City of Des Moines.
