April 7, 2017 By Melody Walker 1 minute read Home News It’s Arbor Day: hug a tree! It&＃8217;s Arbor Day in Missouri, Friday, April 7. As a nation, the U.S. waits until the last Friday in April to show some collective ardour for our delightful diciduous and evergreen cohabitants of planet Earth. Did you know that Washington University was recently recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation as&＃160;a Tree Campus USA ? The campus is home to over&＃160;4,000 trees,&＃160;with&＃160;100 plus species&＃160;that&＃160;include Shawnee Brave Bald Cypress, Valley Forge, Emerald Sunshine, Lacebark, Frontier, Princeton Elms, Princeton Sentry Gingko, Swamp White, Sawtooth, Willow, Swamp Chestnut, Chinkapin Oaks, Tulip Poplar, Morton Exclamation London Plane, Wildfire Black Gum, and Persian Parrotia. Link here for ways to celebrate Arbor Day. The Arbor Day Foundation is a nonprofit conservation organization,&＃160;and it launched the Tree Campus USA program in 2008. Washington University was among the first schools in Missouri to be recognized and has&＃160;received the award every year&＃160;since 2010. Recipients&＃160;must demonstrate a&＃160;commitment to healthy tree management and to engaging campus and community members on environmental stewardship. Native tree plantings took place&＃160;in fall 2015&＃160;and in spring&＃160;and fall 2016 to engage students, staff, and faculty in planting native species and creating more sustainable landscapes on the Danforth Campus. Kent Theiling, WashU&＃8217;s&＃160;Grounds and Landscape Design Manager, will be&＃160;applying for&＃160;Level 1 Arboretum Status through the Morton Arboretum and completing a&＃160;Sucessional Tree Planting Plan for the Danforth Campus&＃160;in 2017. For more information on the Tree Campus USA program, visit the Arbor Day Foundation&＃160;website.
