Thank You for Not Walking on Chapin Lawn Students: Last year, a well-worn footpath widened across Chapin Lawn, irreversibly damaging tree roots, creating mud and dust, and costing several thousand dollars to restore grass there.

Everyone responded wonderfully by using the lawn for everything except going somewhere, and Chapin Lawn is now a great social space that everyone from babies to Frisbee players can enjoy, with no damage to the plants that make it so beautiful.
