Aggie Replant

Aggie Replant is a Texas Aggie tradition started in 1991 by Scott Hantman, a graduate student at Texas A&M University, and chair of the Environmental Issues Committee. Started in support of Bonfire and in response to bonfire critics who lamented the fact that Aggies did not give anything back to the environment. Scott teamed up with Bonfire leaders and planted 400 trees.

Historical Notes

• Spring 2000 – Replant plants 12 live oak trees at the Polo Grounds in memory of the victims of the Bonfire Collapse.
• Fall 2002 – Replant moves from a springtime event to a fall event. This is done to improve the survival rates of the trees.
