Event Details

Come help us celebrate Arbor Day 2026 at the University of Louisville by taking another step to restore Louisville's shrinking tree canopy!

We'll be planting a memorial grove of trees in honor of a recent UofL alumni who fell victim to cancer.

Join us near the steps up to Ekstrom Library from the Humanities Quad to help replace the mature trees we've lost. Tools will be provided. All are invited for this celebration of UofL’s on-going commitment to trees and our status (for 16 years running!) as a Tree Campus Higher Education.

This event will be a part of our 19th Annual Campus Sustainability Day Fair on the Humanities Quad. Stop by early or stick around afterward to connect with dozens of groups doing work to advance sustainability both on- and off-campus, including TreesLouisville and Louisville Grows, who will be on hand with guidance for tree planting and care, as well as information about upcoming volunteer opportunities!

This is a UofL Sustainability Week and Louisville Tree Week event!
