Arbor Day Celebrations in May

Posted on by

Each year, Central Piedmont holds a tree sapling give away at all campuses as part of the Tree Campus initiative to promote tree planting and environmental education.  Our college partner, Bartlett Tree Experts, is providing a variety of beautiful tree saplings this year.  As a result, each campus will have its own Arbor Day celebration, with Student Life operating the sapling stations and providing tree care information.

In addition to giving away saplings from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. during each event, the college will also transplant and plant a few trees that are in the Central Piedmont nursery.  These trees were saved from the grounds around the area formerly known as Terrell and LRC.   The date and events for each campus are:

Levine: Wednesday, April 24
