Drizzly Arbor Day no deterrent to student workersIn observance of Arbor Day, five Penn College students and a faculty member braved the rain for a Friday afternoon's work in Way's Garden. The students planted a Cherokee Brave pink dogwood tree and several small shrubs, as well as providing some pruning in the beloved Williamsport park at West Fourth and Maynard streets. In addition to sharpening the students' hands-on skills, the activity acknowledges the recent designation as a Tree Campus USA, which promotes trees at the college and in the community.

Redding, of Gettysburg; and Noah L. English, of Bloomsburg. English is enrolled in landscape/horticulture technology: plant production emphasis; the others are majoring in landscape/horticulture technology: landscape emphasis.
