Sustainability Week, started in 2006, is a week long series of events hosted by a longstanding partnership between the Town of Blacksburg, Virginia Tech, and Sustainable Blacksburg. The partnership was formed to bring campus and community together to build a more sustainable and resilient community. Sustainability Week received the 2016 Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award.

Because of the COVID19 pandemic, most of the Sustainability Week events will be virtual and the handful of in-person events will be outdoors with physical distancing.

All events are free.

This will be the first in a series of programs and projects offered throughout the year, a new approach, being called “Sustainability through the Seasons.” This new approach will enable the partners to engage campus and the community with events and programming better suited for the seasons, such as tree plantings (fall) and the City Nature Challenge (spring).
