Campus Meadows
The first campus meadow was established in 2014 behind the Sharp Sustainability Education Center (SSEC).
Native wildflower meadows are a fantastic and sustainable alternative to turf.
Some of their benefits include:
- Providing beautiful wildlife habitat
- Supporting pollinator populations with tens of thousands of flowers
- Only needing to be mowed once per year
- Not needing any fertilizer or pesticides
- Not needing to be watered after the first year
Originally supported by a USDA block grant to the NJ Beekeepers’ Association, our main meadow on campus has served as a model for other meadows that have since been established around the region. The campus meadows have been a great collaboration between facilities, faculty and students over the past several years.
