Students Dig In: Rain Gardens, Invasive Plants, and Watershed Health

Students and staff got their hands dirty while learning about the power of green stormwater infrastructure on campus. Through a hands-on service project, they mulched, managed vegetation and tackled invasive species like bush honeysuckle—gaining insights into how sustainable landscapes protect water quality across the watershed.

Our students are improving lives across Kentucky through research, outreach, and environmental innovation.
