The Annual Arbor Day Celebration returns on April 17 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Library Quad. The celebration will feature student and environmental organizations, music, painting and food. This year, the Farmer’s Market will be part of the celebration.

“This is the first year that we’re having the Farmer’s Market, so this year it should be a lot bigger,” said Naya Mondrosch, sophomore marine biology major and one of the  sustainability coordinators.

Paige Ruhlman, senior environmental science major, is another sustainability coordinator. Ruhlman said a tree will be planted and NSU President George L. Hanbury II will deliver a speech.

“It’s a bunch of student organizations, environmental agencies all coming together to plant a tree and talk about the sustainability efforts at NSU,” Ruhlman said.

Ruhlman said this event also gives students the opportunity to learn more and share ideas about sustainability efforts.

“It’s a good place if anyone has any ideas. They can talk to us so that we can try to implement it,” Ruhlman said.
