Cadets from the Department of Geography & Environmental Engineering (GENE) Environmental Program joined the West Point Arborist, Mr. Phillip Koury, to observe Earth Day by planting an Accolade Elm in front of Taylor Hall. The tree replaces a Chinese Elm that was damaged during one of this year's nor'easter storms. Mr. Koury instructed the cadets on proper planting methods and how to care the tree while it becomes established. This year marks West Point's 20th year as a Tree City. The Arbor Day Foundation's Tree City USA program recognizes communities for excellence in urban forestry management.
