If you happened to pass the Microbial Sciences building on the UW-Madison campus Thursday morning, you would have noticed a strange sight: college students swinging from a tree. About a dozen students attempted to scale the swamp white oak as part of a tree-climbing lab. Itâ??s the highlight of the universityâ??s arboriculture course, where students learn to care for trees and the landscape. Yes, for one day, they were getting course credit for climbing trees.
