There will be informational workshops, highlighting the benefit of this program, along with the opportunity to participate in planting trees around campus.
To earn the Tree Campus USA recognition, a university must meet five standards that demonstrate a commitment to planting and caring for trees on campus as well as involving students in that process. These include maintaining a Campus Tree Advisory Committee, dedicating funds for the campus tree program, observing Arbor Day, host a service-learning project and a formal Campus Tree Care Plan.
