You are invited to a special tree planting in honor of Yale staff members who are celebrating milestone anniversaries.
Sign up to volunteer to plant 2 trees with us on campus. Gloves, tools and training provided. Please wear clothes that can get dirty and sturdy closed-toe shoes. We are excited to Celebrate Sustainability by taking action to plant trees with you!
Yale staff members who are celebrating milestone anniversaries may choose to have trees planted in their honor in lieu of selecting a traditional gift. Honorees who are interested in having a tree planted may request one through Yale’s employee service recognition gift catalog. Gift ordering instructions — including those for ordering a tree —will be sent to the honoree just prior to his/her anniversary date via campus mail along with a certificate of appreciation; the honoree also will receive an e-mail with this information on the day of his/her anniversary.
Trees are planted on Yale’s campus by the Urban Resources Initiative. Yale groundskeepers will water and nurture the trees. We plant in May and October each year and take a group photo at the plantings of all the honorees who are able to attend and their trees.
