Associated ('}osely with the State Univer c; ity Coll~gc .. d ..;0rking prwarily on campus beautification (as well as botanical education), it has been able to encourage and participate in some plantings in other sections of the city. With broader public support, it could do much more. It could put its expertise and experience at the disposal of private and public interests. It could provide the inspiration to the community to make and keep Buffalo proud of its reputation for pleasant living. I urge you to join in this effort to improve our city a nd the life of its people. Will you become a member of The Arboretum? An application form is included on the back of the enclosed folder.
