A brief description of the program:

We are a Tree Campus USA with 3,500 trees on our campus. We also maintain about 15 tree farms on ISU owned property around the main campus and have about 230 acres in forested and grassland locations that are remote from campus (but included in our defined boundaries). We calculated the amount of carbon fixed in these areas at 530 metric tons of carbon fixed each year.
