Roanoke earns Bee Campus USA certification
- Roanoke College earned Bee Campus USA certification on May 10, 2025, recognizing its pollinator-friendly campus in Salem, Virginia.
- The certification followed a senior practicum project by five students, including James Hartmann, who added pollinator plants to campus gardens.
- Roanoke supports about five acres of restored meadows, woods, and creek swales, maintains a beekeeping society hive, and installed bat and bee houses funded by multiple grants in 2024.
- Pollinators support over 85% of flowering plants, but one in five North American pollinators face extinction risk, highlighting the need for Roanoke’s pro-pollinator practices.
- Roanoke reaffirmed its commitment to native plant use and habitat restoration, contributing as the 200th institution nationwide to the Bee Campus USA movement.
