ATHENS — Those involved in a University of Georgia student-led project say they hope to produce fruitful results with an edible landscape near Lake Herrick.

One of 13 annual Campus Sustainability Grants recently awarded to UGA students by the Office of Sustainability, the UGA Edible Landscape Project — led by College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences student Abbie Dillon — will install regionally appropriate fruiting trees and shrubs near Lake Herrick to provide experiential learning, on-site education and long-term fruit foraging opportunities for students and visitors.
