Shasta鈥檚 Prairie at 葫芦影业 Campus 

Shasta鈥檚 Prairie is a small pocket prairie on the 葫芦影业 campus near Cullen Blvd. It is located between the 葫芦影业 Science Center and the Science and Research Building 2. In addition to serving to raise awareness about coastal prairies and the 葫芦影业 Coastal Center, it is easily accessible to class groups for use as a living laboratory during normal class time.

Each semester, volunteers help maintain Shastas Prairie. They are recruited from courses that are ongoing and through the 葫芦影业 Office of Sustainability.
