A brief description of the institution’s third party certified land holdings:
Colorado College has been honored with a Tree Campus USA recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to effective urban forest management.

CC's campus is officially tree campus certified making tree health measurement standardized for the foreseeable future.

All campus trees are cared for by our campus arborist and supported by the tree campus committee made up of both faculty and students. A tree care plan created by the committee will marshal tree management. The committee also works to plan and host an event every year on Arbor Day, where students are taught how to support tree health and plant xeric trees and gardens.
