Many of you know the SSLUG (Students for Sustainable Living and Urban
Gardening) organic garden on NAU's south campus--home to over 300 types
of plants, from fruit trees and berry vines to native wildflowers and
annual vegetables. It's been a vital resource where students and
community members can feel the benefits of working in the dirt to
de-stress and grow.
NAU's organic gardener staff position was cut several years ago. In its
place the Sustainable Communities Program is conducting a fundraiser to
crowd-source funds to support an experienced graduate student who will
be responsible for garden maintenance and for organizing and supervising
volunteers. The student will also conduct graduate research on the
garden and its role in the university community.
Please consider helping us to reach our fundraising goal by
contributing, and by spreading the word to your networks! Donations go
to the NAU Foundation and are tax-deductible. Read more at https://crowdfund.foundationna
