Truman to Host Tree-Planting Celebration

 
In honor of National Arbor Day, there will be a tree-planting ceremony at 12:30 p.m. Oct. 21 at the southwest corner of McClain Hall.
 
Representatives from Truman and the Missouri Department of Conservation will plant a decorative Service Berry tree. Truman typically plants trees on Arbor Day in April. Due to potential damage to spring plantings from cicadas, this year’s ceremony was postponed until the fall semester.
 
Through its cost share program with Missouri Department of Conservation and local forester Yvette Amerman, Truman recently planted 15 other new trees on campus. All totaled, Truman has more than 1,700 trees across campus and has been recognized as a Tree Campus USA and Tree Campus Higher Education school by the Arbor Day Foundation since 2014.
 
This event is free and open to the public.
