NSU Recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation

Recently, NSU was recognized as a 2019 Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. Tree Campus USA is a national program, launched in 2008, that honors colleges and universities, and their leaders, for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation. (Earlier this year, Tree Campus USA was renamed to Tree Campus Higher Education.)

To obtain this distinction, NSU met the five core standards for an effective campus forest management, including establishment of a tree advisory committee, evidence of 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.

NSU’s recognition by this foundation is a testament to the university’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
