Arbor Day Celebration & Tree Planting - April 24

Tap into your inner tree hugger with MGA this Arbor Day!

In celebration of Arbor Day 2024, the MGA community has two opportunities to help plant trees:

• On April 26, the Arbor Day Foundation will plant a tree for each Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook post with #ArborDay. 
• Join us at MGA's annual Arbor Day celebration on Wednesday, April 24, at 11 a.m. between the Library and Teacher Education Building on the Macon Campus. This year, we’re adding a Shadey Lane Compton Oak to our garden!

In other news, FFA will hold its annual State Convention in Macon from April 24-27. For a second year, MGA Grounds Manager Tyler Austin has been asked to serve as a judge for the FFA state convention science fair. 

As part of their volunteer work during the state convention, approximately 250 FFA students will be working each day in the gardens on April 24 and 25. This is the fourth year FFA students have volunteered on the Macon Campus, and we look forward to hosting them!
