Cleaning Up What's Falling Down: Fall Weather at Northwestern

For Northwestern groundskeepers, the old joke rings true every Fall: Business is always picking up. On the heavily wooded Evanston campus, leaves are tumbling quickly and Facilities Management has unleashed its arsenal of gardeners and groundskeepers to clean up campus for the coming winter months.

Leaf blowers, tractors, rakes and a full-size garbage truck are dispatched around campus to gather and remove the mountains of foliage that cover the ground with each gust of wind.
