We invite individuals and groups seeking inspiration to come and learn about sustainable practices at Warren Wilson for everything from energy conservation to farming. Warren Wilson has been recognized by the National Wildlife Federation as being among the top 24 colleges in the nation (of more than 4,200 institutions) with students, faculty and staff working to create a sustainable community.
The Green Walkabout is a way for us to share our sustainability story. Each of the following links are sites at Warren Wilson College. We present this information here with the hope that it will assist others in their decision-making process about future development and management of buildings, land, and community.
