Help us plant trees when Buffalo State holds its fourth Big Dig on Saturday, October 29. This popular pro-sustainability event engages faculty, staff, students, and community members. The primary sponsor is the Friends of the Buffalo State Maud Gordon Holmes Arboretum. Over 40 tall trees (12–14 feet), all native to this area—including oaks, redbuds, birches, and more—will be planted. In previous seasons, the group has planted trees along Grant Street, Campus Walk, and Rockwell Road. This year’s planting will take place in Mann Quad. Efforts were started in this quad in 2019. The long-term impact is substantial. Benefits include carbon sequestration, pollinator support, air filtration, and campus beautification. The event is also a lot of fun! All are welcome to help. Shovels in the ground at 9:00 a.m. To participate, please contact Susan McCartney, director of the Small Business Development Center.
