405 N. Main St., Davidson, NC 28035April 2025:
Shared by our partners Dr. Kristi Multhaup and Dr. Susana Wagdymar at Davidson College: images are from Earth Day 2024, during which a planting ceremony was held for eight ginkgo saplings. Staff, students, and the community attended, representing a variety of disciplines.
It was a true liberal arts college celebration that included social sciences (historical context of the Hiroshima bombing), natural sciences (facts about gingko trees), humanities (poetry reading in both Japanese and English), and the arts (string piece with context provided by the orchestra director). We also included crafts, with paper crane folding to offer decorations on the ropes around each sapling and/or for participants to take with them.
