One Million Trees Project

Our club is currently working on a project with the goal of planting one million trees that are native to Northern Colorado throughout Fort Collins, and down the Front range. We hope to encourage collaboration in our project between the local communities, restoration organizations, and the local environment. A goal of the project is to connect people to the environment through environmental education and the planting of trees. We additionally hope to collect data on all the trees we have planted through the project. To see our progress and learn more visit www.citsci.org or e-mail us at [email protected].

Volunteering at the Colorado State Forest Service

We have a number of club trees currently located in the Colorado State Forest Service nursery. To help maintain these trees and our relationship with the Colorado State Forest Service our club has regular volunteer dates at the nursery. Anyone is welcome to join and help out.

SER Club Pollinator Garden

We currently host a small native pollinator garden to the West of the Natural Resources building on campus. We maintain this garden with the hope of attracting all forms of native pollinators, including native bees, flies, and beetles, throughout the flowering season. We also planted a pollinator garden at the Waverly property north of campus in Fall 2020.

The goal of our club is to bring together individuals from different disciplines who are involved with solving environmental problems in order to create a web of communication that enhances the effectiveness of environmental problem solving through the increase of knowledge that comes with multi-disciplinary networking.

The disciplines of environmental restoration, reclamation, rehabilitation, and revegetation cross many multi-disciplinary boundaries in an attempt to solve environmental problems. Some of the issues related to these problems are, but are not limited to, resource management, applied ecology, landscape patterns & processes, cultural resources & stewardship, water contamination, stream restoration, establishment of native plants, genetic & molecular evolution, and soil resources.
