The Campus Planning Office, the Friends of the Maud Gordon Holmes Arboretum, and the Buffalo State Sustainability Committee invite the Buffalo State community to the 2025 Maud Gordon Holmes Arboretum Walk and Talk Tour, Thursday, April 24, noon-1:00 p.m. on the west side (Perry Quad side) of the Campbell Student Union.

Campus Arborist Steven Sypniewski will lead this one-hour tour as he explores some of the oldest trees on campus and some of the most recently installed plantings on Buffalo State's beautiful campus. Discussions will include, but not be limited to, the health of the trees, how trees are selected when a capital project is completed on campus, and how the campus is meeting its goals for increasing the number of different species and varieties of trees and shrubs. This informal walk and talk will be informative as well as fun, as questions and trivia are always welcome. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Please contact Steven Sypniewski to RSVP (walk-ups are welcome) or for information about all the Arbor Day Events. 

Please attend the other events scheduled for Arbor Day, which are made possible with the generosity of the Grant Allocation Committee (GAC). The public is welcome to all events
