Giving Joy Day

EWU sits on 300 acres of beautiful, rural land in the heart of Eastern Washington, just on the edge of the Palouse. For decades, farmers utilized more than a third of the acreage on the west side of campus to harvest wheat. Now, in an effort to better serve Eastern and the greater community, we are embarking on a project to restore the farmland to its native “Palouse” habitat.

This major sustainability initiative will preserve natural land, increase biodiversity, and provide recreational space. The work done here by our students, including research, historical, and land management opportunities, are at the heart of our hands-on learning approach. Your support is an investment in our region for generations to come.
