UNC Asheville students will go green in celebration of UNC Asheville's semi-annual Greenfest April 1-6. Since its beginning in 1991, Greenfest participants have added more than 500 trees, 14 trails and hundreds of plants to the UNC Asheville campus and the Asheville Botanical Gardens. A series of campuswide projects will bring students, faculty and staff together to take part in a variety of campus environmental projects such as constructing bird houses, exotic invasive plant removal and creating a permaculture garden. In addition, several events are open to the public.

The public is invited for a free screening of the documentary "11th Hour" at 8 p.m. Friday, April 3, at UNC Asheville's Highsmith University Union, room 224.
