Trek for Trees Challenge!

September 27, 2025 @ 8:00 amOctober 31, 2025 @ 12:00 am

Adopt a Tree!

We planted 22 fruit and nut trees to fully designate our campus as a Level 1 ArbNet-certified arboretum as a part of our larger project to create community spaces and education opportunities. Thank you for all the help!

Now we are looking for help naming the trees! If you would like to name a tree, or write a small message on the sign, join in on our challenge! There are two ways to earn tickets: trekking and reading for the trees. Figure out more for each below.

ReTreeUs

To obtain our certification, we will be partnering with a local agency, ReTreeUS.

Their mission is to inspire generations of food growers, environmental stewards, and problem solvers through experiential education in orchards and gardens.

They have kindly offered us their expertise in all things arboretum.

Example Sign:

To the left is an example of what the tree sign will look like. There will be 6 lines of text. 4 of them will be taken up with tree Identification and the last two are all yours!
