A brief description of the institution's Tree Campus USA program:
Tree Campus USA is a certification coordinated by the National Arbor Day Foundation to promote healthy trees and student involvement. A key component of this program is an integrated and sustained effort to involve students and prospective students, faculty, staff, alumni, Ohio businesses, and the surrounding community in service- learning projects that connect the Ohio State Framework Plan to the campus as an outdoor classroom.
Colleges and universities across the United States can be recognized as a Tree Campus USA college by meeting five standards developed to promote healthy trees and student involvement:
1. Campus Tree Advisory Committee that includes student, faculty, facility management and community members.
2. Campus Tree Care Plan
3. Campus Tree Program with Dedicated Annual Expenditures
4. Arbor Day Observance
