begins ‘Living Legacy’ as part of their
Master Plan focus on
greening the campus
The
Health Science Center’s new Living
Legacy program provides a way to
remember a lost loved one, commemorate a
special event like a birth or marriage,
or mark any occasion by planting a tree
or sponsoring a flower bed on campus.
Facilities Management, sponsor of the
program, has planned an Earth Day
celebration for a kickoff tree and
flower bed planting on April 22. Fees
must be paid by April 20 to participate
in the Earth Day celebration.
Trees and flower beds will be available
for purchase and commemoration any time.
Fees and types of trees available are
listed on the
Living Legacy Web
site.
All proceeds will be used for the Living
Legacy program, and any profits made
from tree sales and bed adoptions will
be used to offset costs incurred by the
Health Science Center for the trees.
Facilities will provide $100 toward the
cost of any of the largest 95-gallon
trees purchased through Living Legacy.
Living Legacy plantings will be marked
with an 8.5-by-11-inch oak plaque
bearing the name of the person honored.
After a year, the plaque will be removed
and given to the purchaser.
Living Legacy trees and beds will be
planted in designated areas on campus so
Health Science Center visitors know
where to find the live memorials. The
trees and beds are part of the planned
greening of the Health Science Center
campus, as designated in the Master
Plan.
I am John L. Shen Jr.
Manager of the Utilities and Energy
Management at University of North Texas
Health Science Center.
I am looking for
Universities and Colleges in the Dallas Fort
Worth area that would like to have an
opportunity to brag about their campus and
specific projects that they have completed
or in progress. I will post the information
under a new heading called “DFWAPPA Member
Institution Spotlight”.
I will choose one per
month. Please provide no more than one page
including photo’s. There is a possibility
that we can post a link if provided.
I am also interested
in any articles that you think of interest
to be shared with the DFWAPPA community.
Please email me with
any information you would like to share at
