As a part of the Ole Miss Green Initiative’s annual week-long celebration of events commemorating “Green Week,” the organization hosted its first Tree Trail Walk, led by University Arborist Nathan Lazinsky.

Participators in the 30-minute walk met at the Phi Mu fountain in the quad and made their way through campus, learning the names, importance and fun facts of various trees.

Junior biology major and Green Week intern Kelli Coleman said these events aim to increase awareness about sustainability and educate a wide audience about the importance of caring for the environment.

“This is the first year that Green Week has put on the Tree Trail Walk and we hope that everyone who attends will learn a lot about the different types of trees on campus and have a greater appreciation for what makes our campus so beautiful,” Coleman said.

The second Tree Trail Walk this week will start 1 p.m. today at the Phi Mu Fountain.
