SUSTAINABLE GARDENING AND SERVICE LEARNING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF REDLANDS

INTRODUCTION

Founded in 2009, the Sustainable University of Redlands Farm (or SURF) is an ever-evolving campus farm that functions primarily as an outdoor classroom. The farm is located on the University of Redlands campus in Redlands, CA. The site currently employs a single full-time farm manager, with all other requisite labor being provided by student employees or volunteers. In its short history, the farm has educated hundreds of students in sustainable living practices, provided countless hours of community service outreach, and has hosted several high-profile environmentalists.
