The Forest Garden
The Williams College Forest Garden is located next to the Center for Environmental Studies, on the plot of land stretching from CES to Stetson. We have work parties every week, during which we weed, sow, harvest, and do whatever else needs to be done, but we exhort all of the Williams community, whether they are active gardeners or not, to share in the fruits, vegetables, and herbs of our labor. We make gardening in all its parts easy, and any student who comes with the wish to work a little will be taught how, and then given freedom to enjoy the garden in any way he or she wishes. Green beans, cucumbers, lingonberries, currants, asparagus, spinach, oregano, lettuce, onions, garlic, and potatoes are just a few of the things we are growing this year. If nothing else, stop by in the fall for the raspberries.
Greensense
Greensense is a group of Williams College students working to increase environmental awareness and activism. As environmental problems are frequently tied to social issues, our work generally addresses both social and environmental topics. We believe that individuals on our campus, in our communities, and throughout the world can and must be more conscious of the repercussions of their actions. We work to this end.

Outing Club
The Williams Outing Club (WOC), through the efforts of its volunteer student leadership and a faculty advisor, stimulates participation in and appreciation for outdoor activities. In so doing, the WOC will further an ideal of college education, develop personal initiative and leadership, promote skills in outdoor recreation, educate itself and the college community about environmental conservation, seek new opportunities for outreach, and encourage the meeting of people with common interests. These principles guide the WOC in ensuring the availability of outdoor recreation, the inspiration and stewardship of the outdoors, and the continuing enthusiasm for these activities for the present and future college community.
