Clark College celebrated both the natural and digital worlds at its annual Arbor Day event. On April 9, the college celebrated the addition of two new trees to the campus’s beautiful arboretum and unveiled a new, student-designed website that uses digital technology to catalog that arboretum. The new online map allows visitors to instantly access descriptions of most trees on campus through their mobile devices.
