We worked with many different volunteers, led by Jane Trentin, on Mondays, removing different invasive species around the nature trail area, as part of the larger goal of the trail containing mainly native species. Many of the invasives we removed were small (including Chickweed, air potato vine, wild green onion, and Autumn fern) and were located near the entrance of the trail, but we did have days where we removed extremely large invasive species, such as the Chinese Holly and non-native azaleas, which would take a significant amount of time for each plant we removed. 

We worked with Kelley Hanada every Monday at the Stone Mountain Propagation Project (SMPP). Our work entailed propagation of native plants, organizing the potted plants, and helping develop an irrigation system. We mainly focused on the propagation of the natives, and later on in volunteer experience, we worked with Kelley with the organization of the different native species along with helping build an irrigation system for the plants that we were propagating. Some of the plants we propagated include, Milkweed, Rough Leaf Goldenrod, Georgia Aster, Smooth Mountain Mint, and Cardinal Flower. 

Centennial hall, at 100 Auburn Avenue, is the home to the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, the Honors College, and the Welcome Center. The building is surrounded with lots of plants and is one of the greener buildings we have on campus, however, many of the plants are non-native and some are even invasive!
