Students and community members from Moscow and the surrounding area spent their Saturday morning in the UI Climbing Center climbing for a cause at the inaugural Climb for Climate Change event.
The UI Sustainability Center and the Outdoor Program partnered up for the Climb for Climate change — an event targeted at increasing student involvement in climate change awareness, Event Coordinator and Sustainability Center employee Jace Hogg said.
For each top-rope route completed, the Sustainability Center pledged to plant a tree and participants were encouraged to donate to the Tree Fund, all in an effort to work toward the Sustainability Center’s larger goal.
