JMU Environmental Stewardship Tour
Discover some of the places, programs, & people incorporating environmental sustainability into teaching, research, operations, & outreach.
Welcome to the Tour
You are invited to tour selected campus sites that demonstrate environmental sustainability and support learning and applied research. Sustainability features at our tour locations include a green roof, green buildings, rain gardens, pollinator habitats, a naturalized landscape, and more. As you take the tour online or on campus, we challenge you to consider how environmental stewardship is and can be integrated into our lives. How might you think critically, and act as model stewards of the natural world? As you continue through the Story Map, be sure to follow the “learn more” link after any tour site description to go to the website with details. After taking the tour, look at the ISNW website for comprehensive inventories of sustainability courses and research opportunities at JMU as well as directions for requesting to use campus for a hands-on sustainability project.
Here is a map of the 16 sites that are on campus. (The JMU Farm is not shown). Zoom in for more specific location information.
