Our previous staff and recent USU graduate, McKenna Drew, designed and implemented a green roof display on campus.  The display is currently in operation and located at the SE corner of the QCNR building.  McKenna is featured in the Utah State Today.

Harmful Algal Blooms

This time of year it is important to keep an eye out for potential harmful algal blooms.  These blooms sometimes produce toxins that are harmful to humans and animals and it is best to be safe when any are suspected.  These algae usually float on the surface or may be dispersed in the water column.  For information about confirmed sightings and warnings in Utah, visit the Utah Division of Water Quality.

For additional information, including identification, visit Utah Water Watch.
