Relationship to Campus Theme: Nature, Technology and Beyond
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 safely.
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.
