On Wednesday, February 10th at 1 pm, MUSC’s Sustainability Department will host their monthly Conversation Café on the topic of MUSC’s arboretum. An arboretum is a collection of trees for study or display. The MUSC Arboretum can be experienced anywhere on the entire 90 acre main campus. Their inventory of over 2500 trees ranges from ancient live oaks to new fruit saplings. Each tree has a care plan to ensure it is as healthy as possible in the urban environment. In addition to the healing and calming benefits provided by a healthy tree canopy, trees also offer a reduction in air pollution by converting substances from the air to oxygen, reducing noise pollution, and capturing and filtering storm water runoff.
