UTRGV Facilities Planning and Operations, in collaboration with the Office for Sustainability, will be holding a Texas Arbor Day celebration to mark the university’s ninth consecutive Tree Campus Higher Education designation. The Tree Campus Higher Education Designation supports colleges and universities around the country that establish and sustain healthy community forests through a framework built around sustainable forestry management. 

The days will feature tree planting ceremonies, partnering organizations, important faculty and staff, and give aways on November 14th (Brownsville) at the Pollinator Garden and November 15th (Edinburg) at the Southwick Hall Lawn. The events will provide attendees with the opportunity to take the Sustainability Pledge.
