On Friday, October 21, 2016, students and staff from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business participated in a community service learning activity with the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary on the Patuxent River in Lothian, Maryland.
Smith Terp volunteers got a tour of the beautiful gardens. They also learned about ecology and how non-native invasive plants can have a negative impact. The students made a significant impact to the sanctuary by identifying and removing invasive plants by hand pulling them.
“Visiting the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary was great. It was so beautiful and doing group work was a wonderful experience. I appreciate that the Masters Programs Office organized this trip,” said Shengchu Wang, a current Master of Science in Accounting student. “I had fun and learned a lot, and I’m looking forward to the next service learning trip."
