There are always ways to give back to someone or something that has given you so much. One way is to plant a tree in their name.

A William Woods University student organization, Knowing the Woods, will conduct a tree planting dedication at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 25, along Junior Lake. In honor of Arbor Day, the club will plant a white chestnut swamp oak tree dedicated to the Class of 2012.
 
"The committee wanted to honor not only my achievements at William Woods University, but all of the senior class," said Kelcie Spradley, founding president of Knowing the Woods.

"It is also in remembrance of always finding a way to give back to an organization and the community."
 
Sharon Mather, club adviser, will give a presentation about life after graduation, volunteering and how to find the right charitable organization to which to donate time or money.
