Rebuilding ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿â€™s Tree Canopy
ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ lost 12 mature trees on campus because of a major windstorm in January 2022. This year, the Treestorming replanting project will add 22 trees (almost double the number of lost trees) to the campus footprint. The project is a collaboration with many of the stakeholders who previously participated in re-envisioning and expanding the Student Garden: ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ students, the sustainability committee, the facilities and Robert Redford Conservancy teams, and consultants who are once again providing pro bono help for this ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ community effort. These consultants include architect Steve Lang; arborists from California Botanic Garden; and Bruce Mills, Hamilton Construction. According to Patrice Langevin, associate vice president of facilities, capital projects, and safety, one goal of the effort is to give students experience leading a project that will leave a lasting impact on their campus.
