Last Friday, our new Head of School of Biological Sciences Professor Moira O'Bryan, staff and students worked together to revegetate the Jock Marshall Reserve. Together with Buildings and Property Division and Greenfleet, more than 600 native tree and plant saplings were planted. We can't wait for these saplings to grow up to offset our campus carbon emissions and offer shade and shelter to all creatures big and small. #conservation #trees 🌳
