Sustainability Report #1
The Sustainability Committee (a joint team of Ijams staff and Ijams board members) is excited to announce preliminary work toward creating a truly sustainable environment at Ijams Nature Center, inside and outside. Committee members are very appreciative of our committee chairman, Dennis Hunter, whose organizational skills and environmental assessment experience have been invaluable. Thank you Dennis from all of us!

Foundational areas that committee members are exploring are facility and park operations, water and energy usage, waste reduction, recycling, procurement, transportation, the creation of a sustainable land use plan, and educational and communication processes related to our sustainability initiative. We are excited to have the expertise of the Y-12 Sustainability Team to help us along the way, and Ijams plans to assist Y-12 in developing green areas and nature trails at their site. More to follow soon.
