Trees Planted: Featured School
Columbia Basin College
This year, Columbia Basin College hosted their second annual "Arbor Day Tree Planting" event. Managed and planned by the campus Sustainability Committee, participants helped plant hundreds of trees, large and small, to beautify the campus and create a small nursery area for future growth and nursery stock. Those who attended learned proper tree planting techniques from community volunteers and the Department of Forestry and received small tree seedlings to take home and plant in their communities.
The Sustainability Committee is comprised of students, faculty, staff, and community members and truly helps their campus emulate Columbia Basin College President's favorite quote, "The true meaning of life is to plant trees under whose shade you do not expect to sit."
