WKU named Tree Campus by Arbor Day Foundation Western KY University has been honored with 2019 Tree Campus USA(R) recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to effective urban forest management. WKU has received the designation for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirt of conservation each year since 2010. To obtain the distinction, WKU met the five core standards for an effective campus forest management, including establishment of a tree advisory committee, evidence of a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance and the sponsorship of student service-learning projects. Currently there are 385 campuses across the United States with this recognition. "Tree Campuses and their students set examples for not only their student bodies but the surrounding communities showcasing how trees create a healthier environment," said Dan Lambe, president of the Arbor Day Foundation. "Because of Western Kentucky University's participation air will be purer, water cleaner and your students and faculty will be surrounded by the shade and beauty the trees provide." WKU's campus forest includes more than 3,400 trees, including more than 100 species. This story was posted on 2020-01-23 03:53:55
