The Sustainable University of Redlands Farm (S.U.R.F.) is an essential piece to the University's efforts toward local growing practices and introducing students to the outdoors. This on-campus garden, located behind the Brockton Avenue Apartments, decreases the University's carbon footprint through reduced transportation processes and actively practices climate-adaptive growing methods. Students have the opportunity to grow desired crops in a personal lifted plot, observe visiting pollinators, plant California Native vegetation, and complete their community engagement credit.
