Campus Food Security
Green Bears work in the DeeBrown Memorial and Lewis Atrium Gardens where all produce goes to the UCA Bear Essential Food Pantry to help food-insecure students and staff.
Garden Learning Project
Students work alongside experienced gardeners to learn sustainable practices in growing produce right here on campus! Here we learn crop pairings and native species of popular cultivated plants such as carrots.
Creek Clean-Ups
Each spring we host our annual creek cleanup to aid in preserving our urban stream on campus: Stone Dam Creek. Our efforts help improve water quality for aquatic life and local appeal.
