Tom Borden Memorial Tree PlantingAbout the Event... The Colorado Forestry Association, Society of American Foresters, Colorado State Forest Service and Warner College of Natural Resources will host a memorial tree planting to honor forestry leader Tom Borden at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 22, in front of the Forestry building at Colorado State University. As state forester for 25 years, Borden was the longest-running director of the CSFS, and was past president of the SAF and National Association of State Foresters. He also was responsible for renewing interest in the CFA in the early 1980s. The Tom Borden Memorial Tree Planting will take place in front of the CSU Forestry Building at 5 p.m. Thursday, April 22. CSFS Director and State Forester Jeff Jahnke, WCNR Dean Joyce Berry and SAF State Chair Ron Cousineau will join SAF members at the memorial planting as part of the 2010 SAF Colorado-Wyoming Annual Meeting. CSFS foresters and CSU forestry students will obtain a young Douglas-fir tree from the Borden Memorial Forest, a 70-acre parcel of forestland west of Fort Collins that Borden owned and managed that is also a certified Tree Farm; he later donated the land to CSU to be used as a living classroom. The tree’s new home will be south of the CSU Forestry Building in an area known affectionately to students and faculty as “Sherwood Forest.” “This tree was chosen because there are so few Douglas-firs on campus,” said Lisa Mason, chair of the Long’s Peak Chapter of the SAF and outreach forester for the CSFS. “The tree we’re planting will become a respected teaching tool for future forestry students who are learning about tree identification.”
