Intro to the Zine
The GSU GreenHive Cohort has created a ‘Zine’ to summarize what this cohort has worked on and to introduce everyone!
It represents all the hard work this team has put into their project and is a great way to understand the legacy they are creating.”
Masterplan Review
GSU’s Masterplan focuses on ‘beautification’ of the dead zones on campus.
This is something that we are also passionate about and are excited to help make this goal a reality with our plant installation project.
GSU plans on creating streetscapes throughout campus for the beautification project. GreenHive’s dream is to aid GSU Grounds in the plant selection and design of these streetscapes.
GreenHive at GSU will continue to partner with
GSU Grounds Management and GSU Sustainability Initiatives
to create biodiverse, localized, and safer and cheaper maintenance
technique at Georgia State’s Atlanta campus.
Future Steps
The Fruitful Community Foundation is excited to steward the GSU GreenHive Cohort as they lead their community in land stewardship and environmental resiliency.
