Relationship to Campus Theme: Nature, Technology and Beyond
Arboriculture is the cultivation of trees and shrubs. By planting trees and shrubs in our cities, near our
homes, and in rural areas, we are utilizing their
natural
ability to clean the air, temper high winds, and
cool our homes.
Technology
in arboriculture includes new techniques for planting, watering and
pruning, along with the constant improvement of the tools used to perform these tasks.
As we look to
the future
, trees become even more important in the face of a gradually warming planet and the effects
it will have on people everywhere.
