Over 400 IUPUI students and faculty participated in CEES's service learning program, working to maintain and restore natural areas at Eagle's Crest, Starling Nature Sanctuary, Holliday Park, Sodalis Park, Oaklandon, Fall Creek, and the Lilly ARBOR. In keeping with tradition, most projects focused on removal of Amur Bush Honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii).

Beaver (Castor canadensis) have been an intermittant presence at the Lilly ARBOR since the forest restoration project was initiated seventeen years ago. There is plenty of evidence of past beaver activity.
For the past two years, Dr. Brian Plankis and Dr. Pamela Martin have been working on elementary after school science clubs. These science clubs are designed to increase science interest in younger students which could in turn have an effect on their college and career path choices.
