Campus Woodlot invaded by non-native honeysuckle!
Volunteers needed to pull it out this Saturday, Titus says
Biology Professor Jon Titus
announced that the Biology Club is sponsoring a four-hour work detail
in the Campus Woodlot this Saturday (Oct. 6) from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. to remove an invasive species. "The Campus Woodlot has been
invaded by non-native bush honeysuckles, which are native to Asia," he
said. Click here to read more about this alien plant.
"Bush honeysuckles form dense patches in forest understories that shade
out young trees, spring ephemerals, and other native plants and degrade
the value of wildlife habitat. Some bush honeysuckle species also
release chemicals into the soil to inhibit other plant growth.
Bush honeysuckle fruits are very low in nutrients and do not provide
the resources needed by migrating birds." All students, faculty
and staff as well as community members are encouraged to meet at the
clocktower at 9 a.m. or just meet up with the group in the
woodlot within the four-hour period. "We will provide needed tools
and have some extra work gloves...but if you have clippers or gloves
please bring them. Be prepared to have fun and get a little
dirty," Dr. Titus said.
SEFA Campaign getting off the ground;
participation urged by President, "Because We Live Here"
University President Dennis L. Hefner announced he
and Mrs. Jan Hefner will be showing their support for the State
Employees Federated Appeal campaign at SUNY Fredonia by offering a
holiday lunch in December at their home. A total of 15 winners
will be selected in a drawing from those pledging at least $25. "Please
consider making a contribution to this year’s SEFA campaign," President
Hefner said. "I know you are asked to support many worthy projects, but
the comprehensive services provided to our community by the many SEFA
agencies makes this campaign special. Our campus is very close to being
second among the SUNY University Colleges in SEFA participation rates.
Let’s aim for Number One as we attempt to reach a 100 percent
participation rate!" SEFA donations benefit a wide
variety of local agencies that provide services to the community, and
to the college (an example of the latter is the Campus and Community
Children's Center). The campus appeal is chaired by Ray Rushboldt (political science) and Martha Smith (Director of Revenue Accounting). The theme for this year's campaign is "Because we live here."
Stroke Support Group meets twice a month
at Youngerman Center in Thompson Hall
The Youngerman Center for Communication Disorders has
resumed its support group meetings for stroke and head injury
survivors and family members. The group meets the first and third
Tuesday of the month at 3 p.m. in Room W127 Thompson Hall. A
typical group meeting includes activities to help stroke survivors use
compensatory strategies to improve communication skills, provides
educational information and an opportunity to socialize and share
experiences. Light refreshments are provided. "The Youngerman Center
recognizes that there are individuals in the community whose insurance
benefit for therapy has been exhausted but their hopes for improvement
have not," said Julie Williams, coordinator of the program. Call 673-4618 for more information about attending the group.
