The Leadership Grove is a collaborative effort between the Center for Leadership Education and Service and the Campus Arboretum project that began in April 1999. Each tree in the Leadership Grove is planted in honor of someone who has demonstrated leadership on behalf of or as a member of the University of North Carolina Wilmington community.
Over the past several years, the university has suffered significant losses of trees due to hurricanes. The grove is just one of many efforts towards replenishing the diminished landscape of the campus environment.
A recognition plaque hangs in the Cornerstone Lounge of Fisher Student Center. Each leaf on the plaque represents an honoree for whom trees have been dedicated..
Those honored in the Leadership Grove include past and present student leaders, faculty, key administrators, and donors from the university and Wilmington communities. Those making donations of trees include faculty, student organizations and anonymous individuals.
