Orange Grove Research Paper

The orange Grove at California State University Northridge (CSUN) has been a historical landmark that has historically represented the very essence of CSUN all the way back from the year 1952. It was officially announced as a historical site after the Associated Students claimed it to be so officially in 1972. The orange grove consist of over 400 orange trees, a observatory, a orange grove bistro, and a pond. For many students, faculty, and staff the orange grove pond has always signified a place of inner sanctum, a place of tranquility, and escaping life problems. The inhabitants of the pond consist of ducks, turtles, several native species of insects such as the dragonfly and water bug, and around the pond there are several squirrels scouring about.

Water lilies go for as little as $5 dollars or as much as $20 each. Koi fish go for as much as $40 or $100, barley straw go from $6 to $50 depending on the size of the pond, and a dozen pond snails ranges from anywhere from $9 to $20 dollars. All of which combine in total can prove to be costly in the short run, but can most definitely prove to pay itself altogether in the long run. By having all of these in place, we would greatly reduce the chance of over pollution. Which in itself if left alone, would cost thousands of dollars to clean after hiring someone to finally do it. Not to mention would possess a huge safety issue altogether for students, faculty, and staff that visit the pond.

Conclusion

The Orange Grove has always been known as a place to escape, where the beauty of nature and wildlife come together in harmony. It has always been the go to spot for most students after a long day, to destress and settle down. Let’s all do our part in keeping it that way, and preserving this beautiful historical landmark that has ultimately represented CSUN for so many years.
