At any rate, when the voyagers returned, Roosa gave his well traveled seeds to the Forest Service, which germinated them and grew saplings. Many of the young trees were planted during the bicentennial in communities, universities and other facilities around the country. For instance, a moon tree was planted in Arlington National Cemetery in honor of deceased astronauts. Two pines and one sycamore were planted on the campus of Florida University, but were kept a secret for a number of years because Noel Lake, the superintendent of grounds and landscape architect, who retired in 1988, feared harm would come to them. The harm, however, came in the form of careless grounds people, not vandals or mischief makers, who inadvertently damaged both pine saplings beyond recovery. The sycamore, however, still stands, a vital 70-foot tall tree.
