Today is Arbor Day! Texas Technological College hosted its first Arbor Day celebration in 1938. The tradition continues as faculty, staff, and students gather to plant flowers each year.

These images come from the Winston Reeves Photograph Collection circa the late 1930s and can be found on our digital repository.

Today is Arbor Day, a day to celebrate the trees!

A few local favorites:

The Pawpaw, sometimes also called "Appalachian banana," produces the largest native North American fruit, tropical in flavor.

The Hemlock Spruce, state tree of Pennsylvania. The oldest recorded hemlock spruce is over 550 years old and lives in Forest Country, PA.

The American Chestnut, once the giant of the eastern U.S. forests, is now critically endangered. Introduction of blight in the early 20th century quickly destroyed nearly 4 billion trees, wiping out entire forests. Efforts to breed blight-resistant chestnuts are underway.

As the proverb goes, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Go plant a tree!

Happy Arbor Day! And Happy Friday! What a week! Things are definitely feeling back to normal. I haven’t been this busy in a while. It’s exciting to hear that NYC might be fully open on July 1st too. Things are definitely looking up! #bonweekend #arborday #cherrytree #centralpark #nyc (at Central Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/COS2aRLjTWA/?igshid=1wg4bkud0523s

This beautiful tree, my favorite lovely view from the swinging bench on my porch, was chopped down today. It was majestic. I collected pine needles that fell in the street every year to use as mulch. What will I do? Neighbors are taking down lots of trees in this established neighborhood. Good thing I planted 10 Norway Spruce from @ArborDayFoundation and 7 assorted native trees and bushes from @greeninterchange this week. I am creating a backyard arboretum! I have labels out🥸. posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/COUGrThF8cx/
