Join us on this unique tour, through which we will ask you to use your senses to get to know the many gardens and biodiversity zones the Loyola campus has to offer. This sensory tour aims to delve deeper than the intellectual reasons for why biodiversity and green space are important, asking you to sense it for yourself. Through guided activities hosted by those dedicated to building these special spaces, we invite you to connect with the natural world right here on campus.
Running concurrent to the tours will be an exibit displaying past and present photos of urban agriculture and biodiversity initiatives from Concordia's past. Join us here to look at the evolution of the campus, mingle with those involved, and enjoy snacks and refreshments provided by our local campus gardeners.
This event is hosted by the Office of Sustainability, the Sustainability and Diversity Students Association, and the Loyola College for Diversity and Sustainability, with additional funding from the Faculty of Arts and Sceince. It is part of Campus Sustainability Month at Concordia, a month-long series of sustainability events and activities.
