The Office of Sustainability and Rice Creek Field Station will be co-presenting this webinar highlighting the newly re-established Centennial Arboretum at SUNY Oswego as well as other campus tree projects.

Talk Description:

The 1961 Centennial Arboretum was gifted to the SUNY Oswego campus through donations made by community members and businesses to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the institution’s founding. As the campus expanded, the Arboretum was no longer centrally located, leaving it forgotten. In 2021, efforts to revive the arboretum resulted in an addition of 21 new and diverse tree species, planted by community members, student volunteers, and campus staff. The future of the Centennial Arboretum includes expansion to support both the ecological and educational connections between the campus community and the land in which we reside. This webinar will also include updates about other campus tree projects, including success stats from the CFRP 2021 tree giveaways.
