The Richard Alsina Fulton Center for Sustainable Living (FCSL) is the Wilson College home for hands-on environmental education. We provide opportunities for students and community members to interact and experience first-hand today’s environmental issues and solutions.
Those who wish to explore sustainability in food production, energy, transportation, land stewardship, and community awareness will find vast opportunities for practical learning at the FCSL.
Volunteers are always needed and appreciated!
For general information on the FCSL, please contact Christine Mayer, FCSL Program Manager, at cmayer@wilson.edu or ext. 3247.
