Green Committee

Purpose

The purpose of this Committee is to advocate for the responsible preservation, sustainability and enhancement of the natural beauty, environment and natural resources of the Sunnyside Campus habitat.

Activities

 
  • Gardening
  • Trash pick-up on Massanetta Springs Road
  • Recycling
  • Green Earth will accept plastics # 2. You just have to make sure there is a recycle number in the triangle on the plastic.
  • The committee has also been working with Sunnyside management and some JMU Graduate Students to develop a Sustainability Plan for Sunnyside. You can download a copy of the plan in Powerpoint format.

Tree Identification
The committee has also taken the lead in identifying and labeling a wide variety of trees on the campus. You can find identifying signs and tags on over 100 different trees across campus. It is a good chance to learn one of the great resources we have here in the Valley and on campus. Map of Tree Locations   Identification of Tree Species
