Climbing Trees at University Park

I can't remember the last time I climbed a tree. I do remember that I used to climb a lot of them. Last week the oak trees along Curtain Road across from the Creamery were alive with student climbers enrolled in Horticulture 201 -- Applied Aboriculture.

Around 26 students get together twice a week to learn how to manage themselves and the trees. The Department of Horticulture offers a wide range of courses and programs involving the application of science and technology to the production of horticultural crops and the management of public and commercial horticultural enterprises.
