A wild Beedrill has appeared!
This is one of my favorite areas on campus. It a beautiful location, and it also highlights a few of Penn State's shining green accomplishments. The closest structure to the cache is actually and enviornmentally friendly waste-water treatment living laboratory. This building is capacle of processing waste water from nearby buildings and creating crystal clear water using plants, bacteria, fish, snails, and even freshwater shrimp to filter the water.
Next to the the waste-water treatment plant there are two honeybee hives. While honeybees are not native to the americas, they have become and integral part of the agrarian portion of our economy. In recent years there has been a severe decrease in the population of honeybees due to a variety of factors including the introduction of varroa mites, pesticides, and monoculture farming.
The largest building is a student designed solar home that competed against other universities from around the world in the solar decathalon. The house is beautiful both inside and out and is definitely worth a tour if you get the chance. It overlooks the community gardens at Penn State, and is a shining example of what the future will hopefully bring!
Hope you enjoy the cache!
