NCC Campus Celebrates Earth Day

To celebrate Earth Day, Nash Community College’s Student Government Association hosted Green Day activities on Tuesday, March 19. Students, faculty, and staff were encouraged to wear green attire and participated in a litter sweep along Old Carriage Road.

The Nash Community College campus comes together annually to acknowledge Green Day by planting trees and hosting a guest speaker. This year’s guest speaker was David Bradley of Sapony Creek Apiaries. During his talk, he shared information about the intricacies of the beehive hierarchy and honey production. He is also pledged to assist NCC with the apiaries (beehives and honeybees) located on campus.

A longleaf pine was planted behind the Cosmetology Building in commemoration of the event.
