The Center for the Agricultural Sciences and a Sustainable Environment at Penn State Berks is involved in a number of sustainability initiatives. Our campus greenhouse provides an active learning environment for horticulture students to grow a variety of plants and shrubs. John Rost, research technician for horticulture and turfgrass, is an active member of our campus Sustainability Team and coordinates projects which include composting, bat houses, honeybee gardens and natural bee structures, rain  barrels, native plants. 

Student Dakota Schoppe, president of the club “Students for Sustainability,” created a video highlighting some of the projects.
