Earth Day in the Quad

Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton and Chancellor Emeritus William H. Danforth assist in the planting of a Valley Forge Elm in Brookings Quadrangle April 14. In recognition of Earth Day 2006, 10 Northern Red Oaks were planted along Forsyth Boulevard and one Valley Forge Elm was planted in the Quad. The elm replaces the tree that had stood in the area but died a couple of years ago. All of the trees planted were grown by the University on the property just east of the Brookings Hall parking lot, between Lindell Boulevard and Forest Park Parkway.
