On Oct. 9, CU Boulder forestry crew members Vince Aquino and Chip Horner held a belated Arbor Day celebration with the help of more than a dozen other CU affiliates. Several members of the Student Affiliate Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects were in attendance and participated in the planting of three trees: a sycamore, catalpa and chinkapin oak were placed on the south side of the Wolf Law building.

Typically celebrated in April, Arbor Day was recognized on campus in October due to restrictive spring COVID-19 protocol pertaining to gatherings. The annual planting of trees in observance of Arbor Day is a requirement for CU Boulder to remain in good standing as a Tree Campus USA.
