• Effectively manage their campus trees.
• Develop connectivity with the community beyond campus borders to foster healthy, urban forests.
• Strive to engage their student population utilizing service learning opportunities centered on campus, and community, forestry efforts.

What does it take to be named a “Tree Campus USA”?

• Campus Tree Advisory Committee
• Campus Tree Care Plan
• Campus Tree Program with Dedicated Annual Expenditures
• Arbor Day Observance

Congratulations to our Grounds and Landscape Services team for taking care of our trees and keeping them a priority for our campus and the environment!
