2009 Bob Mullane scholarship recipients Kyle McCabe (left) and Joseph Keefe (right) flank Brian Nadriczny (center) of The Care of Trees. The scholarships are awarded annually to University of Massachusetts students who are passionate about arboriculture, are highly committed to serving others and exemplify solid academic performances.
Mullane, for whom the scholarship is named, was a 1963 UMASS graduate and a pioneer in the arboriculture field. The endowment was created in 2002 by The Care of Trees to memorialize Bob’s contributions to the field of urban forestry and preserve his legacy of civic service. The scholarships are awarded each year in conjunction with the Massachusetts Tree Warden’s conference held in February. The scholarship is open to students in the university’s Arboriculture and Community forestry program.
