About

We need help executing our zero-waste Sustainability Picnic! Shifts for set-up, during, and clean-up are all needed!

Participants will discover the breadth of sustainability at Auburn while you enjoy free samples of local food, games, door prizes, and music!  

Connect with student groups, programs, and opportunities that make a difference. Meet representatives from the cosponsors: Tiger Dining, the Donald E. Davis Arboretum, the Waste Reduction and Recycling Department, the Academic Sustainability Program, the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment, the Master of Community Planning, and the Office of Sustainability.

This no-waste event will feature local food and will be held at the south end of the Donald E. Davis Arboretum near the Old Rotation.
