I-35, which borders St. Edward’s, is a large thoroughfare which residents of Central Texas use to commute to work and move up-and-down the greater Austin area. Slowdowns on the road are often common either from accidents or sheer volume of commuters on the road at one time. It is non uncommon to see a 15 minute drive turn into one which stretches into 30-45 minutes. In 2024, the Texas Department of Transportation began the process of expanding I-35 by increasing the number of lanes on the highway.

Roy Johnson, campus arborist and sustainability coordinator, works alongside the volunteers to get the food forest ready for the winter cover crops. “I'm hoping that even if they're just volunteering per requirement or other reason, that at least some of them get inspired to get more invested and come back,” Johnson said.
