ARBOR Project
Answers for Restoring the Bank of the River
The Lilly ARBOR
Project is a Center for Earth and Environmental Science (CEES)
project to develop an outdoor experiential environmental
education and research site that will help complete the last key
component of a conservation corridor through Marion County,
Indiana. Faculty estimate that several hundred students will be
involved at the site over the next five years. The project will
involve planting and monitoring the growth and development of
trees and shrubs planted along eight and a half acres of the
riparian corridor along the White River immediately west of the IUPUI campus in downtown Indianapolis.
