Tree plantings mark Arbor Day at ESC

Students in Carl J. Bower Jr.'s Emerging Trends in Horticulture class planted a serviceberry tree and a weeping willow in observance of Arbor Day on Friday, further beautifying the Schneebeli Earth Science Center campus and celebrating Penn College's renewed Tree Campus Higher Education designation.

Pictured with the weeping willow near the ESC pond are (from left) Mitchell E. Lesh, of Pine Grove; Nathaniel R. Kovalchick, of Tamaqua; Isabel S. Moore,  of Bushkill; Boston T. Bloom, of Flinton; Jason B. Bates, of Williamsport; Ozzy N. Seney, of Canadensis; and Zach D. Vent, of Everett.

Tree Campus Higher Education was founded in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation to provide a framework for colleges and universities to grow their community forests, achieve national recognition, and create campuses of which their students and staff are proud.
