A brief description of the institution’s third party certified land holdings:
Our first campus tree inventory and Tree Campus USA designation was completed in 2010. The inventory data was analyzed with the i-Tree v3.0 program. UWSP’s mission in the creation of this plan is to maintain a safe and diverse urban tree population that is sustainable and a visual and ecological foundation that is an integral part of the campus infrastructure. We have been designated a Tree Campus USA every year since 2010.

UWSP was certified as a Bee Campus USA Affiliate in June 2020.

Treehaven, field station of College of Natural Resources, is certified through The American Tree Farm System (ATFS) certification program, internationally endorsed by the Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

Forests managed by the College of Natural Resources are certified through the Forest Stewardship Council.

UWSP is working towards getting funding for an updated forest inventory in hopes of turning it into a carbon offset project.
