Canoe Susquehanna 2009-10

To kick off the new school year, the Environmental College took their annual kayaking trip down the Susquehanna.  This year, the Society and Technology College, as well as members from the Environmental Club, joined them for an afternoon out on the river.  Check out the photo albums!

 Kayak Trip

The members of the Environmental Residential College traveled a short distance to a nearby park for a day of outdoor fun.  The students participated in soccer and ultimate Frisbee followed by lunch and an invigorating five-mile kayak trip down the Susquehanna River ending on the shore of Bucknell’s campus.

 Wetland Restoration

Students worked at a wetland restoration project in Lewisburg with their professors.  They transplanted native plant species in order to improve the biodiversity of the area for the wildlife that inhabit the wetland.

 Cross-Country Ski Trip

The Environmental Residential College spent the day in the mountains at Crystal Lake skiing, hiking, and exploring the wilderness.  The day was topped off with sandwiches and smores around a blazing fire.

 New York City Trip

Students took a weekend trip to New York City to visit the famous Central Park.  The environmentalists also visited the Museum of Natural History and spent the night in Times Square.  Before heading home, they gathered to enjoy a meal at the space themed restaurant, Mars 2112.
