1. Pathway
   1. This week, I expanded on the work of the pathway and completed half of the area surrounding the herb spiral. I did this by digging several inches into the ground to smoothen out and define an actual pathway. Afterwards, I laid down wasted cardboard that Julie and I retrieved from loading zones behind academic buildings, the bookstore, and Warren Square D. Finally, I laid down a thick layer of wood chips that have been sitting at our park for over a year. 
   2. We will be finishing the remainder of the pathway around the herb spiral and in the fall semester, we will be extending it down to the sidewalk. 

Virtual work 

1. Chipdrop 
   1. I found a service called Chipdrop that can fulfill service requests for wood chips. Julie signed us up and put in a request. We are hoping we can have fulfillment soon. I attempted to call Bethlehem Composting Center to see if they could also deliver any wood chips and they denied. If this does not work in the next few days, I will contact BrightView for a drop-off. 
2. Website 
   1. A lot of this week was dedicated to cleaning up the website. It is now much more navigable and content is way easier to find, as well as upload. With all the updates that were very much needed, wordpress is much easier to use and fix. I began to fix and revise the plant profiles and did a major revision of our main menu, adding more services, our partners, etc. 
3. Social media 
   1. This week, I handled social media. I developed all of the new posts and content as well as the interactions we had with audience members. Our mulberry tree post attracted interest immediately by an individual who is building a permaculture homestead at his new home. He picked up the tree this week! I also developed content for promoting the expo and for Earth Overshoot Day. Both brought in good traffic on our page!

Expo 

1. Thursday afternoon, we presented at the Lehigh Summer Research Expo. We had some really great conversations with some of our current partners, and we also met some new people that were very invested in our project. I spent a lot of time editing and fixing that poster, so I was very proud and happy to have received such incredible feedback from people. The expo really helped to bring people interested in environmental issues together. The relationships we made will be great for the future of this project and the feedback will truly carry us forward to make our project blossom. After the expo, we won first place for the best poster in the environmental sustainability category!
