The UA Campus Arboretum will host a short program celebrating campus and community leaders for their excellence in promoting stewardship and conservation of urban trees. Mayor Jonathan Rothschild will speak about The City of Tucson’s 10,000 Trees Campaign and UA Facilities Management Grounds Services and UA Campus, Planning, Design and Construction will be recognized for their dedication in maintaining the UA campus trees and creating a park-like setting in which campus and community members work and play. The 2014 Arbor Day Commemorative Tree will be dedicated and guests may enter a raffle for a free tree. Participants who bring a current TEP Statement can sign up for an $8 tree from Trees for Tucson. Undoubtedly, there is no better way to kick off Earth Week, than by celebrating the trees that sustain our earth! Come early for limited seating among the majestic oaks, elms, ash, and callistemon trees. Standing room will also be available for all who wish to join in.
