Founded in 2014 by six landscape architecture students, the Society for Ecological Restoration (University of Guelph chapter) is a club focused on providing hands-on experience to all students with an interest in restoration.  From brownfield projects to pollinator gardens, SERUG has hosted guest lectures, workshops and events on a variety of topics.  

Check out some of our past projects on:

Our first meeting of the semester is this Thursday, January 26th at 5:30 pm in ALEX 259 (new members welcome!). We'll start the meeting by chatting about SERUG, our past events, and what restoration means to all of us.  This will be followed by a presentation on pollinators and wildflowers in Ontario, where we will learn about:

• How to prepare a wildflower garden
• The importance of native species
• Best practices for maintenance of gardens
• Pollinator habitat and needs
• Potential for expansion of pollinators gardens on campus

A variety of species of native, wild-collected flower seeds for participants. Everyone can create their own seed mixes to take home and plant!
