She looks for broken branches, hanging limbs, climbing ivy, insect damage and signs of disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUMW is known for its tree canopy and parklike setting,\u201d said Chichester-Morby, who directs University Landscape and Grounds and is in constant communication with the grounds crew about specific needs. \u201cThis proactive approach saves us money \u2013 and many trees \u2013 down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also helps earn honors for Mary Washington, one of only 10 Virginia schools to receive recognition as a 2023 Tree Campus by the Arbor Day Foundation last month, marking the ninth consecutive year the University has made the cut. So, ahead of National Tree Day on Sunday, July 28, UMW is celebrating its white oaks and redbuds, its cedars and spruce, its poplars and persimmons, and the care that goes into keeping them all healthy and flourishing.<\/p>\n<p>Conserving all that lush, leafy greenery is time-consuming. This past Arbor Day, an annual celebration that takes place the last Friday in April, Chichester-Morby and her crew added three\u00a0<em>Tilia americana<\/em>\u00a0(basswood) on the College Avenue side of the Cedric Rucker University Center. With the potential to grow as high as 80 feet, the towering basswoods will help visually balance the size and scale of the three-story student center at the heart of campus.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:7,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.umw.edu\\\/news\\\/2024\\\/07\\\/26\\\/something-great-is-growing-on-umw-voted-tree-campus-nine-years-in-a-row\\\/&quot;,&quot;likes_blog_id&quot;:230672515}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 1100px; height: 434px;\" data-original-width=\"1100\" data-original-height=\"434\" > <div class=\"gallery-group images-1\" style=\"width: 327px; height: 434px;\" data-original-width=\"327\" data-original-height=\"434\" > <div class=\"tiled-gallery-item tiled-gallery-item-large\" itemprop=\"associatedMedia\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2024\/07\/26\/something-great-is-growing-on-umw-voted-tree-campus-nine-years-in-a-row\/planting1\/\" border=\"0\" itemprop=\"url\"> <meta itemprop=\"width\" content=\"323\"> <meta itemprop=\"height\" content=\"430\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" data-attachment-id=\"103389\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/Planting1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"480,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/Planting1-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/Planting1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/Planting1.jpg?w=323&#038;h=430&#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/Planting1.jpg 480w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/07\/Planting1-225x300.jpg 225w\" width=\"323\" height=\"430\" loading=\"lazy\" data-original-width=\"323\" data-original-height=\"430\" itemprop=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/image\" title=\"\" alt=\"UMW community members help plant basswood trees near the Cedric Rucker University Center this past Arbor Day.
