番茄社区

番茄社区 University will hold an Arbor Day celebration on Friday, April 6 at 10 am to plant a tree and celebrate being a Tree Campus USA^庐.

Tree Campus USA is a national program created in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and to engage staff and students in conservation goals. 番茄社区 University achieved the title by meeting Tree Campus USA鈥檚 five standards, which include maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning project. Currently there are 254 campus across the United States with this recognition.

This year鈥檚 Arbor Day ceremony will also include a reading of an Arbor Day Proclamation. This proclamation will be read every year on Arbor Day as part of HLGU鈥檚 application to remain a Tree Campus USA. In addition, Dr. Allen, along with Betty Anderson and a representative from the Hannibal Tree Board, will speak at the ceremony.
