Troy University's Biology Department will host a 5K run to benefit its Arboretum on Nov. 30. 

Registration can be done at this link. The entry fee is $5 for students and $10 for those who are not students.

An online announcement from Troy says that funds will be raised for restoration. 

"The arboretum encompasses 75-acres and features seven and a half miles of nature trails, over 500 identified plant species, a pond, an outdoor classroom and an indoor classroom," said the announcement. "Restoration efforts began in early 2022 when care of the arboretum was transferred back under the wing of Dr. Alvin Diamond and the College of Arts and Sciences."

"Since then, and with the help of a team of volunteers from across the University and community, extensive work has been done to return the grounds to its former glory. "
