Campus Arboretum Volunteers plan greenery swag work day
CHADRON – The Chadron State College Campus Arboretum Volunteers (CAV) will have its annual greenery swag work day at the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center Saturday, Nov. 19, from 9 a.m. until noon.
Each year, in advance of the event, CSC grounds crew members harvest fresh campus greenery including several varieties of pine, juniper, spruce and fir, according to CSC horticulturist Lucinda Mays. Those in attendance will use the greenery to make swags to decorate the CSC main gates, the Student Center and create one to take home.
Participants should dress for working with outdoor materials and bring gloves and hand pruners in addition to ribbons, bows or other decorations. Children are welcome to accompany their parents to the event. Refreshments will be provided by volunteers.
Previous groups have made swags for dorm rooms, front doors and barn doors, according to Mays. For more information, contact Mays at 308-432-6401 or lmays@csc.edu.
