“The Plant Biology Graduate Student Organization (PBGSO) will be working in collaboration with Beautify Southern Illinois Student Alliance (BSISA) and the SIUC Physical Plant staff to plant and seed in native prairie plants at two locations (northwest corner of Life Science II and north of Center for Environmental Health and Safety –CEHS) on campus to increase student and faculty awareness of our rich natural heritage as ‘the prairie state’, to beautify the overall campus community, and to provide rare and unique habitat for wildlife.  Both sites will additionally serve as educational forums for many plant, zoology, and fire ecology classes.”
