For "Throwback Thursday" we share another Mastodon found! This is at Buesching's Peat Moss on the Cook Road. In 2004 IPFW celebrated their 40th Anniversary and local businesses painted these Don's in tribute. BTW...it was at Bueschings they unearthed a Mastodon!

We've got quite a bit to be thankful for being discussed in this month's ERC News Brief. The first planting for the ERC landscaping project has made it in the ground, The Nature Network's first speaker on sea turtle research is November 17th, an update on Dr. Paladino's lab, and some thought provoking ideas on the Clean Water Act.

Have you mastered where everything is on campus yet? It would have been a bit more straightforward in 1973 when this aerial view of our campus was taken! For more historical pictures of PFW, check out our University Archives Gallery in mDON: mDON mastodon Digital Object Network #ThrowbackThursday

Completed in late summer, we are proud of Phase 2 of the Sustainable Landscape Master plan at Environmental Resources Center at Purdue University Fort Wayne.

It’s best to stop by in the pouring rain 😉 to see how the runoff from the building is being channeled into the landscape where it flows through the roots of the native plants and is cleaned on its way to the St. Joseph River which runs nearby.

A mix of straight-species native perennials and shrubs along with some native cultivars will grow into a landscape that illustrates methods to improve the functionality and environmental benefits of any landscape. Note the sedge plugs that will grow together to resemble a ‘lawn’ that looks great but requires less care than a traditional lawn.

Thanks to the many good people associated with PFW and the ERC who helped with the preparation, execution, and funding of this project!
