olga and 908
908 is a Bald Cypress that resides on the eastern side of the UTD campus. The reason Olga chose this tree is because she feels it leads a very happy life in a vibrant little grove near a creek. Knowing that 908 is happy makes her happy, too. The tree is surrounded by other trees and shrubs, so it’s never lonely. Its roots intermingle with the roots of others, which means it shares all sorts of nutrients, and personal information. Trees do that. They have a very active social life underground. 908 is very engaged with its community.
