Our first meeting of the semester will be Thursday, September 7 at 6 p.m. We will be meeting on the western side of Lake Laverne near the bus stop. We will be making ecospheres, which are mini ecosystems in a jar. We encourage you to reuse an old jar and bring it with you, but we will have jars for everyone.
September 5, 2023Environmental Science Club this Semester
Our first club meeting is this Thursday, September 7th at 6 pm. We're meeting at the west end of Lake Laverne (near the bus stop) to make Ecospheres! If you have a jar you'd like to use, please bring it! Make sure it has an airtight lid and the capacity to hold the soil, plants, and water we'll be filling it with. If you don't have a jar, we will be providing some, but quantities are limited.
Starting this semester, the Environmental Science Club will now meet at 7 p.m. every other Thursday unless otherwise stated. We are planning a lot of exciting events this semester, from volunteering opportunities to crafts to a club hike, so be sure to always read to the end of these emails.
Below is the planned schedule for the semester:
September 7- Ecospheres
September 21- Seed paper craft
October 5- Faculty speaker
October 19- Reiman Gardens pumpkin carving volunteering, 6-8 p.m.
Weekends in October- Club hike and adopted highway cleanup

We will be designing a club shirt this semester, so stay tuned for updates and a Google Form to place an order.
Additionally, we are looking for club members to join the executive board of the club. These positions are open to anyone, freshman or long-time club member. If you are interested, please email osmiller@iastate.edu to tell us about yourself and why you would be interested.
