Published on Apr 22, 2026

On April 20, West Kentucky Community & Technical College hosted the Arbor Day Foundation and AES Tree Planting Volunteer Event on its main campus, bringing together campus and community members for a hands-on sustainability initiative focused on environmental stewardship.

The event began with a tree-planting seminar in Waller Hall, where volunteers learned proper planting and mulching techniques. Following the seminar, participants worked across campus to plant and mulch trees to enhance the landscape and support long-term environmental health.

A total of 28 volunteers participated, planting 52 trees across campus. An additional 50 trees were distributed during an Arbor Day giveaway, extending the event’s impact into the surrounding community.

Lunch was provided in the Student Center, allowing volunteers to connect before the afternoon tree giveaway concluded along the Nature Trail.

The event combined education, service and community engagement while contributing to campus sustainability and beautification efforts.
