Pi Epsilon at UTSA

11/14/2019

Hi all, sorry this is a little late, but I wanted to say thank you to all the folks from Pi Epsilon and the UTSA Green Society for their help on the 2nd of November cleaning up the Environmental Science and Ecology Department's "Adopt-A-Spot". We filled about 10 bags with trash from the drainage way that passes under UTSA Boulevard just west of Babcock Road; this is an important drainage way because it is near the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone.

Again, thank you to all who came out, and we hope to do more of these projects in the future. Cheers!
