A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
PLU forged relationships with the community through Habitat for Humanity of Tacoma, student volunteers and workers at Franklin Pierce Schools, and Puget Creek and Clover Creek Restoration. Each of these types of engagements has promoted sustainability in different ways. Habitat for Humanity promotes the sustainability of the human community and the environment through the regulated development of community required by Habitat for Humanity through an application process and required volunteer hours. Clover and Puget Creek restoration involves student education about and physical removal of invasive plant species that can be harmful to native species.
