Western KY University named a 2011 Tree Campus USA More on Tree Campus at tree campus usa (c). There's also a program for towns: Tree City USA By the Arbor Day Foundation Lincoln, Neb. (March 30, 2012) - For the second consecutive year, the Arbor Day Foundation has named Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY, a Tree Campus USA in honor of its commitment to effective community forestry management. WKU achieved the 2011 designation 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. "Students throughout the country are passionate about sustainability and community improvement, which makes the emphasis on well-maintained and healthy trees so important," said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. "Achieving 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." 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. "The WKU campus is known for its architectural and natural beauty," Helen Siewers, WKU's landscape architect, said. "Trees add immensely to the campus environment with springtime flowers, summertime shade, fall color, winter beauty and wildlife habit all year long." Siewers said WKU has planted more than 800 trees over the past four years. 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 www.arborday.org/TreeCampusUSA. This story was posted on 2012-03-30 10:55:41
