A Positive Note:

The fall season is here, and the leaves are falling. This is just a memo to the Wesleyan community that we do not waste the leaves. They are trucked to a composting farm in Middlefield, to be turned into new soil and reused.

The flower pots around campus are changed with the seasons, and this fall they look great, despite the vandalism of three pots. Someone broke the pots and trashed the plants, but we replaced them for the enjoyment of the members of the campus, as well as any visitors to our campus.

Additionally, the trees that we prune or remove are turned into wood chips, and picked up by a firm from northeastern Vermont. They are used in energy production and mulch. Great to know that the material is being recycled in a positive manner!!
