Help Your Campus Become a Part of the Tree Campus USA Program

The Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota want to add trees to college and university campus communities across the country. You are invited to apply for a tree planting event for your campus. This event will provide students the opportunity to participate in a large tree planting on campus. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain national recognition while adding trees to your campus.

• Completed applications are due by July 31, 2009, at 5 p.m. CST.
• Campuses that are selected will be notified by August 14, 2009.
• Tree planting events will be held in fall of 2009.

Applications will only be considered from the following:

• Current certified Tree Campus USA campuses and universities.
• Campuses that have started the process to become a certified Tree Campus USA campus or university (certification application must be submitted by September 1, 2009).

The following groups can submit an application on behalf of a campus or university if that campus or university meets the two requirements listed above.

1. College and university campuses.
2. College and university alumni organizations.
3. Cities and towns.
4. 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations

These tree-planting events are an opportunity to introduce young adults and other community members to the many benefits of community trees.

One of our goals for each event will be to coordinate the plantings with community leaders and specifically the city forester, city arborist or similar community representative to ensure that each planting is appropriate for the conditions and region.
