Tree Campus USA January 3, 2010

For academic librarians find out if your campus is involved with the Tree Campus USA program. Introduced in 2008 and  modeled after the Tree City USA program, Tree Campus USA has awarded over 30 college campuses with recognition for tree planting, and other service learning activities that meet the program’s 5 standards.  The campus creates a plan to protect and care for the campus trees, not only on Arbor Day but year-round, through outreach to facilities personnel, students, urban foresters, arbortist and other important stakeholders. Find out the benefits, read about a few of the recognized colleges, or  apply for your college.
