To celebrate Earth Day, Nash Community College’s Student Government Association hosted Green Day activities on Tuesday, April 22nd. Students, faculty and staff wore green attire, held a tree planting ceremony and picked up litter along Old Carriage Road. The Nash Community College campus comes together annually to acknowledge Green Day by planting trees and hosting a guest speaker. This year’s guest speaker was Stacy Boone, Regional Manager for Regional Materials Recovery, Inc. in Rocky Mount. During his talk, he shared information about how local citizens and organizations are helping the environment by safely recycling industrial materials. Three magnolia trees were planted near the Electric Line Construction Training Field. This year also marks the 25th year Nash Community College has participated in the Adopt-a-Highway program along Old Carriage Road.
