If you've been lounging at Sewell Park lately, you may noticed some new trees. The trees were planted there last week as part of an Arbor Day ceremony. Taylor Hughes has more in this Bobcat Update.

Since 2011 Texas State University has been a Tree Campus U-S-A School. Being a certified school gives the campus certain benefits like hosting an Arbor Day event.
