Members of the Knox College community will celebrate Earth Month in April with a variety of events on the Knox campus, including a lecture focused on environmental issues, a 5K run/walk, and a festival.
Biologist Tyrone Hayes, a professor at the University of California-Berkeley, will speak at the EquiKnox Lecture at 7 p.m. on April 20 in Kresge Recital Hall, Ford Center for the Fine Arts. Hayes will discuss his research on the pesticide atrazine and its effect on male frogs.
A 5K Fun Run and Walk will start at 8 a.m. on April 23. Proceeds from the event will go to Trees4Galesburg, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to plant trees in Galesburg. Discounted registration is available through April 1.
