Those who appreciate the shade of Tech’s tree canopy amidst
the Atlanta skyline have an opportunity to advocate for these plush oxygen
sources with the Campus Tree Advisory Committee. The committee, comprised of
members representing the diverse audience of those with a stake in Georgia
Tech’s campus trees, is now seeking student members.
In 2008 and 2009, Georgia Tech was recognized as a Tree
Campus USA university; this program fosters the development of the next
generation of tree stewards, and recognizes college campuses and their
surrounding communities promoting healthy urban forest management and engaging
the campus community in environmental stewardship.
Committee members are expected to actively participate and
contribute in policy and guideline issues, as well as research and gather
information to enhance the Georgia Tech Campus Tree Care Plan. They are also
expected to participate or volunteer in tree planting events on campus.
The next meeting of the Georgia Tech Tree Campus USA Advisory
Committee is Thursday, Sept. 15, at 11 a.m.; the committee meets the second
Thursday of each month in the conference room of Landscape Services at 947
Atlantic Drive on campus. Interested students may contact the Hyacinth Ide in
Landscape Services.
