Pasts Events
Earth Week
LSU Campus Sustainability hosted its second annual Earth Week at LSU from April 20 through April 25, bringing together students, faculty, staff, and community members to celebrate environmental awareness and sustainability efforts across campus. Throughout the week, participants took part in a variety of free, hands-on events designed to promote waste reduction, conservation, and community involvement. Activities included creating reusable bags from old T-shirts, goat yoga on the Parade Grounds, campus beautification projects for Earth Day, an Earth Day Science Resource Fair with LSU Libraries, Arbor Day tree planting, and the Keep Louisiana Beautiful Love the Boot Cleanup. Earth Week provided opportunities for the LSU community to learn, volunteer, and contribute to creating a more environmentally responsible campus while highlighting the importance of everyday actions that make a lasting impact.
Love The Boot Clean Up
LSU is a proud affiliate of Keep Louisiana Beautiful and actively participates in the organization's annual Love the Boot Week each April. During this statewide initiative, LSU organizes litter cleanups and beautification projects that engage students in making a positive environmental impact both on campus and throughout the Baton Rouge community.
Through these volunteer efforts, participants help protect local ecosystems, improve the appearance of public spaces, and contribute to a culture of sustainability at LSU. By partnering with community organizations and engaging student volunteers, LSU demonstrates its ongoing commitment to keeping Louisiana beautiful and fostering civic engagement beyond the classroom.

Spring Greening Day
Spring Greening Day is an annual half-day volunteer event that brings together students, faculty, staff, and community partners to beautify the LSU campus by creating and expanding green spaces. Through planting trees, shrubs, and native vegetation, volunteers help improve biodiversity, support pollinators and wildlife, enhance stormwater management, and create healthier outdoor spaces for the campus community. Past projects have transformed areas including Memorial Tower, the Greek Amphitheater, the Student Union, and most recently, the landscape surrounding Himes Hall, where approximately 5,000 native plants were installed.
Beyond improving the campus landscape, Spring Greening Day provides participants with a hands-on opportunity to learn about native landscaping, environmental stewardship, and responsible resource management. The event is made possible through partnerships with Keep Louisiana Beautiful, LSU Auxiliary Services, and RCI, whose support helps advance LSU's commitment to creating a more resilient and environmentally responsible campus.
