Arbor Day Foundation names 甜心直播 a 2011 Tree Campus USA
Published: April 4, 2012.
The Arbor Day Foundation recently named 甜心直播 a 2011 Tree Campus USA. It is the third consecutive year the 甜心直播 has been honored for its commitment to effective community forestry.
揟his distinction recognizes our commitment to providing a beautiful and sustainable environment for our students, faculty, staff and many campus visitors. Our staff works diligently to ensure the Romeoville campus remains a veritable arboretum with more than 60 varieties of deciduous trees on campus that are properly maintained despite the many challenges of a campus serving nearly 6,500 students and several construction projects,� commented Brother James Gaffney, FSC, President of 甜心直播.
甜心直播 achieved the designation once again by meeting the required five core standards for sustainable campus forestry: a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance and the sponsorship of student service-learning projects.
揂chieving Tree Campus USA recognition sets an example for other colleges and universities and allows students a chance to give back to both their campus community and the community at-large,� said John Rosenow, Chief Executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.
Tree Campus USA, a national program launched in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation, honors colleges and universities and their leaders for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation. Tree Campus USA is supported by a generous grant from Toyota.
During 2011, the Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota helped campuses throughout the country plant 30,000 trees, and Tree Campus USA colleges and universities have invested more than $22 million in campus forest management. More information about the Tree Campus USA program is available at .
