An Arbor Day ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Friday. The ceremony will take place on the north side of Woods Hall, which is the new home of a Japanese maple tree. The 25-year-old tree was moved Jan. 28 through the effort and partnership of the University Landscape and Grounds Advisory Board, Campus Planning and Design and UA Grounds. The tree was chosen to be transplanted because it was previously located on the Peter Bryce Campus in the midst of ongoing road construction. Today the tree is fully leafed out for spring. The ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held to signify the importance of practicing sustainably on campus.
