    In celebration of the 💯 Years of Forestry at Virginia Tech, a northern red oak sapling was planted in a special ceremony at the base of a hill between the amphitheater and the Duck Pond. Several special guests joined CNRE faculty, staff, and students for the planting, sending the college and its highly ranked forestry program into its second century.
