Tree Campus USA
The University has again been recognized as a Tree Campus USA Institution. Tree Campus USA is a national program of the Arbor Day Foundation, the world’s largest membership nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees. To earn the honor this year, the University again surpassed the Tree Campus USA program’s five standards, which include maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures toward trees, an Arbor Day observance, and student service-learning projects.
University’s Arboretum Receives Accreditation
The University of Rochester’s arboretum has achieved Arboretum Accreditation at Level II from ArbNet, which created its Arboretum Accreditation Program to establish and share a widely recognized set of industry standards for the purpose of unifying the arboretum community. No other international program of accreditation exists that is specific to arboreta.
As part of the Morton Register of Arboreta, the University’s role in the shared purpose to plant and conserve trees is highlighted, and accreditation acknowledges the institution’s commitment to and fulfillment of professional criteria.
