Our University’s 2016 Spring Tree Planting Event will take place in the OR-AN region of the ODTÜ forest on Sunday, May 15th between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. During the event, 10,000 trees will be planted in memory of our students Berkay Baş and Ozancan Akkuş, who we lost in March, and thus, the 300 thousandth tree will have been planted within the scope of the campaign A Tree From You, A Forest From Us.
Along with ODTÜ members, students of all primary and secondary schools in the region, official institutions in Ankara, foreign missions, non-governmental organizations, the media and all residents of Ankara have been invited to the event.

Additionally, bus services will depart from the Rectorate, East-West Dormitories and Personnel Residences areas on Campus, and from Tunus and Sıhhıye bus stops downtown to provide transportation to the event area.
