Please join us for the Big Dig II Tree-Planting Day on Saturday, November 2, as Friends of the Maud Gordon Holmes Arboretum partner with the Campus Planning Office and the Grounds and Garage Department on a fun and productive morning of tree planting. Your participation is welcome.

Volunteers will work in teams to plant 35 trees on campus. The planting will increase the number and diversity of trees in the campus arboretum and offset trees lost to storm damage, construction, infestation, and disease.

“Big diggers” should meet in Cleveland Hall 205 at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, November 2. Please bring along your own work gloves and, if possible, a shovel. Planting will take place from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. Refreshments will be provided.

We are delighted that Buffalo State students—members of the USG-recognized Rowing Club—have already signed up to help with Big Dig II.

For more information, please contact Susan McCartney, member of the arboretum's executive committee and director of the Small Business Development Center.
