PLANT WALK W/ OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY

OVERVIEW

Hellooo fellow beings of Shred!!! Much like a forest ecosystem, the communities of us humans here in Charlottesville are oft bustling and abound with uniqueness. Cam and I often find ourselves enamored — tickled, even — by the wonders of both plant and human life around us, and we would like to offer our friendship to all of it…SO, what better way to do this than to cook up a CLUB COLLAB IN DA WOODS!!

Join us this Saturday from 2:30-3:30 atop our wondrous Observatory Hill for some plant ID / chill trailwork / creative nature walk alongside our friends and fellow students in the Office of Sustainability!! OFS is bringing along their Equity & The Environment director to speak on the importance of promoting equity in outdoor spaces, and we’re hoping this can be a very inclusive space to be ourselves outside, meet some new plants and humans, and emerge forth into the Saturnoon feeling more connected to life as it abounds. We’ll gather at 2:30pm, munch on some snacks as we discuss these themes of equity and the outdoors, then walk on ova to Slaughter whence we shall pop onto the trail there (designed and built by your fellow shredlings a few years ago!!!) to do some light trail clipping and learn about native plants in the corridor.

This trip is meant to create a relaxing and inviting atmosphere for everyone, so come one and come all regardless of trail experience, and we’d love to co-create this space of adventure and care alongside you. 🙂

SEE YOU WONDERFUL HUMANS THERE!!!
