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.

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!
