Students and staff picked and gathered vines growing in the bushes in front of the Roy H. Park School of Communications parking lot Sept. 16. Some climbed into the bushes to grab the vines of the invasive swallow-wort, a plant harmful to monarch butterflies.

The club facilitates all sorts of outdoor, skill-building, and environmental stewardship activities. This semester, the Outing Club finally had its first event and has more trips planned.
