Raleigh's Tree of the Year
Congratulations to Raleigh's 2022 Tree of the Year. From the nominator:
Nestled between Park Shops and Page Hall on NC State’s campus, a ginkgo tree — lovingly dubbed “The Tree” by students — has captured the hearts of the Wolfpack with its magnificent fall transformation. (A tree with a cult following? Color us surprised.)
Raleigh's Tree of the Year program celebrates Arbor Day and all things trees!
