VALDOSTA — 美高梅博彩社区最近聚集在一起庆祝一种红色紫薇的种植。
Located in Championship Grove, the tree’s primary purpose is to stand as a symbol of endurance, resilience, and perseverance in honor of vs上’s 2024 Men’s NCAA Division II National Championship Tennis team.
Second to honoring a group of student-athletes who finished a magical season with hard work, determination, and a 26-3 record, the tree also represents vs上’s transformation and renewal, as university leadership begins to rethink and rebuild its urban forest after losing more than 1,600 trees to Hurricane Idalia, Hurricane Helene, and other storms.
“I have received many questions about what we are doing to re-beautify those portions of our campus that were hardest hit,” Dr. Richard A. Carvajal, university president, shared during vs上’s 2025 Georgia Arbor Day ceremony.
Carvajal then announced the formation of the Campus Groves Committee, a group charged with developing actional recommendations for gradually restoring the natural beauty of vs上’s landscape, which will have a profound impact on the student experience for generations to come.
Championship Grove was initially unveiled during vs上’s 2019 Georgia Arbor Day ceremony.
Situated outside the P.E. Complex near the intersection of Baytree Road and Sustella Avenue, Championship Grove originated with a group of trees planted in honor of Blazer Nation’s eight NCAA Division II national championship-winning teams — 1979 baseball, 2004 football, 2006 men’s tennis, 2007 football, 2011 men’s tennis, 2012 softball, 2012 football, and 2018 football. The red-flowered crape myrtle marks vs上’s ninth national title.
The centerpiece of Championship Grove is Championship Oak, a sprawling live oak representing the vs上 体育运动 tradition of excellence in the classroom and on the field, court, and course.
冠军橡树在飓风海伦期间遭到破坏，但一位树木外科医生成功地切除了断裂的四肢。 美高梅博彩景观和场地负责人莫妮卡·海恩斯说，她和她的团队已经制定了一项计划，在这棵树继续愈合的过程中，对它进行培育和监控。
“I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Monica Haynes and her dedicated crew for their ongoing efforts in maintaining this special space, ensuring that our championship legacy continues to thrive,” said Troy Katen, director of vs上 体育运动.
Before grabbing a shovel for the ceremonial tree planting, Coach John Hansen and his championship tennis team accepted the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree Campus flag on behalf of vs上. This is the university’s 13th year being recognized for its unwavering commitment to effective urban forest management, even in the face of adversity.
植树节基金会是一个拥有百万会员的非营利性保护和教育组织，致力于激励人们种植、培育和庆祝树木。
vs上’s Department of Landscape and Grounds is committed to providing the campus community with the highest quality service in the areas of horticulture, landscape maintenance, landscape construction, irrigation, and trash compaction. 每个场地维护团队成员都为自己为维护校园独特的美丽所做的努力感到自豪，并为大学范围内的招聘和保留工作提供支持。
