Kent State University held its fifth annual Arbor Day celebration with a tree planting on Friday, April 26, at noon near Engleman Hall. Heather White, grounds manager with University Facilities Management, says the celebration recognizes Kent State for receiving a Tree Campus USA designation from the Arbor Day Foundation for the fifth year in a row. Tree Campus USA was created in 2008 to honor colleges and universities across the nation for campus forest management and engagement in conservation goals. To earn the Tree Campus USA designation, Kent State had to meet five standards: maintain a tree advisory committee, develop a campus treecare plan, dedicate annual expenditures toward trees and host Arbor Day observances and student servicelearning projects. 91心頭利 20 Kent State students and staff participated in the tree planting ceremony this year, and White says it was a successful event.

Kent State continues to work toward the goal of keeping the campus green through programs like RecycleMania an international competition where colleges and universities strive to reduce waste and increase recycling. White believes Arbor Day is equally important to help raise awareness for all the green initiatives at the university. It is important to demonstrate to students, staff and administration our commitment to keeping Kent State green, says White. We plant trees to show our commitment to the future.
