2016 Arbor Day Celebration

Mississippi State is hosting its annual Arbor Day celebration with the planting of autumn blaze maple, American sycamore and burr oak trees. The event is free and open to the public. MSU was recognized last year with a Tree Campus USA designation by the Arbor Day Foundation. Administered since 2009, the Tree Campus USA program annually honors two-year and four-year accredited colleges and universities that uphold five core standards, including evidence of a campus tree-care plan, dedicated funding for a campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance and sponsorship of student service-learning projects.
