The American Liberty elms have been especially useful in areas where soils are not particularly conducive to growing trees. At Bear Butte State Park near Sturgis, two-foot American Liberty elms were planted earlier this year. The trees have doubled in size and will complement the region's ponderosa pine and green ash. The Outdoor Campus will be open on Wednesday, November 11, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thea Ryan, director, said. The Outdoor Campus is located in Sertoma Park at 49th Street and Oxbow Avenue in Sioux Falls.
Admission is free.
