 Here at the Arboretum we rely on our volunteers, especially our student volunteers. Today the students are working in three different areas and one area they're removing invasive English ivy from trees and another area they are weeding the community garden beds and in the third area they are moving compost and covering it with leaves. Service is one of the main principles at the University of Alabama. You know it is early it is a Saturday morning but we want to get back to university as much as possible because they do so much for us. The compost is beneficial to our garden. We take fruit and vegetable scraps from Bama Dining. They bring them to us every week and we mix them with leaves that are provided by grounds and when you put those together in the right combination they decompose into a nice soil that we're able to use. I think even with COVID it's good to see that students are still wanting to come out and make an impact for the Tuscaloosa community. This was the first time I've ever been out here and I've learned a lot. I really love it out here it's a really nice place to just come out and spend time you know alone or with friends and just enjoy the weather and the nature out here. We are really happy that they're here to help us and make sure that we can care for the Arboretum and it's great for the students they get outside it's a healthy activity and they are able to socialize in a safe way.
