CSUN will host a virtual Earth Month in April, celebrating sustainability and environmentalism. Associated Students, the Institute for Sustainability, the Food Pantry and other campus organizations have come together to offer workshops, virtual tours and webinars all month long.

One notable series of events is the Virtual Tours offered by Outdoor Adventures. The tours promote a “leave no trace” mentality during wilderness excursions, and bring the sights and sounds of the outdoors to your screen. Locations toured will include the Tahoe Rim Trail, the National Parks of Alaska and the Ghost Towns of California.
