\n\nThe goal of the Green Trail is to create a walkable path for campus and community to follow and learn about Marshall University’s many green initiatives and how you too can Be Marshall Green<\/em>. At “Green Stations” along the Green Trail, signs will display interactive information about each location, along with QR codes. Download our Green Trail Brochure PDF<\/a> for a self-guided experience.\n

Geocache our Green Trail (GC63KFA)!<\/a><\/p>\n

By following the trail, visitors will be able to easily tour our campus, learn how we are working to Be Marshall Green<\/em>\u00a0and see how to live more sustainably. We host guided teaching tours of our Green Trail and use our “Green Stations” for hands-on learning with students and residents of all ages.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Through this education outreach, we hope to inspire all to embrace living a more sustainable lifestyle.<\/p>\n

We look forward to growing this site along with the trail, as we continue to expand our green initiatives on campus, and beyond.<\/p>\n
