For him, it’s not only about being a good steward of the earth; it’s also about being a good steward of the funds with which he has been entrusted. In short, saving energy means saving money, so that doubles its importance in Haywood’s book. (More)

Twenty five students planted the 8-to-12-foot 300-pound trees under the supervision of Kurt Cribb, special projects coordinator for the Catawba Center for the Environment and Dr. John Wear, center director. The new additions – Eastern redbuds, willow oaks and red maples – are all native species. (More)
