By taking care of the environment, you take care of the future
By Sophie Feinberg | July 18, 2018UF’s campus is full of nature and, with it, sustainability efforts to protect it.There’s the Office of Sustainability, protected natural areas and extensive major and minor studies and classes concerning environmental issues or topics like sustainability, wildlife, agriculture, reporting and more.The signature live oak trees stand alongside Albert and Alberta, Century Tower, Gothic-style brick buildings and more as key elements that make UF’s campus.These trees that are perfect for hammocking can often be under-appreciated or taken for granted.Almost a year ago when hurricanes struck Gainesville, the historic tree in front the New Physics Building met its end. Riding past it on my 120 bus route down Museum Road, I noticed its missing place.
