The college was once again well represented during Sustainability Week activities on campus. Associate Professor Eric Wiseman and some of his urban forestry students helped plant 10 trees around the Drillfield. Associate Professor Dan Hindman led a strong effort by the wood science department to host a total of six classes, workshops, and competitions throughout the week — more than any other academic unit on campus — with the help of faculty members Barry Goodell, Tom Hammett, Laszlo Horvath, young Kim, and Robert Bush. Goodell and Hammett also staffed a booth highlighting sustainable biomaterials at the Sustainability Fair across from the Blacksburg Farmer’s Market.

Wood science major Dabney Beahm helped set up and staff the sustainable biomaterials booth.
