A brief description of the institution's Tree Campus USA program:
This is an excerpt from our 2008 Tree Care Plan. We were in the first round of schools to receive Tree Campus Designation and have retained the honor since that time.
"The purpose of the Northland College campus tree care plan is to establish a routine, comprehensive forestry program. The overall goal is to improve the quality of campus life and maximize environmental benefits by fitting trees effectively into the physical infrastructure of the campus. The specific phase one objectives of the plan are:
• Initiate a process to inventory campus tree resources, recognizing the unique characteristics of built, natural and riparian environments,
