The student club Eco-Pax went out picking dandelions on Sunday and today Chef Jeremy Corson created six dishes for lunch using them.

Goshen College has worked in recent years to restore several acres of lawn to native landscaping. Part of that initiative is simulating naturally occurring fires by establishing a controlled burn.

Students in separate projects held a controlled burn of a prairie field area near Sauder Music Hall and planted trees around campus in order to try and establish it as a “tree campus.”
