FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Coconino Community College has joined the ranks of becoming an affiliate of the Bee Campus USA program. The program helps gather the strengths of educational campuses like CCC for the benefit of pollinators, and the college joins other cities and campuses across the country to improve their landscapes for pollinators.
“CCC’s students, faculty and staff are champions for sustainable environmental practices,” said Dr. Christal Albrecht, Interim President. “Becoming a Bee Campus USA affiliate is a natural fit for our college located in beautiful northern Arizona.”
I am so excited that CCC has committed to becoming an active affiliate of Bee Campus USA,” said Janan Scott, CCC Purchasing Specialist Senior and Master Gardener. “I really feel like it’s a harmonic convergence. Our school garden at the Lone Tree campus is thriving with native pollinator-friendly plants. We’re already a pesticide-free school, our faculty is excited to incorporate pollinator-focused projects into their curriculum, we have the full support of our Facilities department, and our Community Education program is looking forward to expanding offerings to include pollinator education and workshops.”
Scott added that it takes cooperation college wide to make a program like Bee Campus USA a success and that pollinator conservation is an excellent common goal for the whole college to work toward.
