A tree was planted at Southeast Arkansas College on Wednesday morning, and to President Steven Bloomberg, the moment represented a new beginning.For one, the Pine Bluff college earned the distinction of Tree Campus Higher Education from the National Arbor Day Foundation. To celebrate, the college planted a tulip poplar tree outside McGeorge Hall that will grow to 60 to 90 feet tall by 30 to 50 feet wide. Tulip poplars produce colorful blooms and are native to the Crowley's Ridge region of northeast Arkansas, according to Jefferson County forester Tabitha Holloway.
