A group supporting the saving of an old growth section of forest at Virginia Tech, plans to try to enlist help from a well known late-night comedian.
The Environmental Coalition plans to name one of the old oak trees in the Stadium Woods section, after Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert, host of the "Colbert Report." The group plans to ceremonial name the tree "The Quercus Omnipotens Colberticus, The Almighty Colbert Oak."
According to an events page on Facebook, the tree naming ceremony is set for next Tuesday, May 1st, at 4:00 p.m. at the Washington Street tennis courts.
Virginia Tech is considering a plan that would use part of the Stadium Woods area, for a new athletics practice facility.
WSLS's Tim Ciesco reported on the controversy surrounding the plan this past Sunday. Read more by clicking here.
