Tree Campus Higher Education

A big initiative requires the right team. In addition to any campus forestry staff you may have in place, a Tree Campus Advisory Committee composed of students, staff and faculty will ensure you have diverse viewpoints and plenty of support.

Sometimes the best way to learn is by getting down in the dirt. A Service Learning Project that engages your student body gives your campus a meaningful way to make an impact they can see and feel. Don't forget to document your project with photos or video for your application.

Most communities celebrate Arbor Day in the spring. Your school can join in those community celebrations or plan your own, but observing the big day is part of the Tree Campus experience. Use it as a time to celebrate your school’s accomplishment, and honor students or staff who led your efforts.

Tree Campus Higher Education applications can be submitted in the late fall, but you can upload documentation of activities and events throughout the year. Once everything is included in your application, click submit, and we’ll be in touch. If you’re recognized, you can start promoting your accomplishments to your school and community leading into the next school year.
