40 Trees to Be Planted to Celebrate Earth Day
Volunteers will plant about 40 trees at Cal State Northridge on Wednesday as part of an Earth Day celebration.
The trees will be placed outside the school’s science buildings by about 80 volunteers.
“It’s a long-term goal for the College of Science and Math to have a wooded, shady landscape surrounding the building as an identifying feature,” said Brian Houck, manager of the university’s botanical garden and greenhouse.
Organizers chose a variety of species, including magnolias, pines, yews, Japanese cryptomeria and michelias, Houck said.
More information is available from the botanical garden and greenhouse department at (818) 677-3496.
