CAMPUS URBAN FORESTRY PROJECTS

A new grove of trees commemorating Virginia Tech’s Sesquicentennial on the Blacksburg campus can be found on the western edge of the Drillfield for future generations of Hokies to gather, reflect, and celebrate the university’s resiliency.

A collaborative effort among many university groups, including the Division of Campus Planning, Infrastructure, and Facilities; College of Natural Resources and Environment; College of Architecture, Arts, and Design; Communications and Marketing; Advancement; and more, the sesquicentennial grove will leave a lasting impact on Virginia Tech for the next 150 years and beyond.
