The University of Louisiana at 69´«Ã½ has been named a Tree Campus USA for the ninth consecutive year.
The Arbor 69´«Ã½ Foundation designation recognizes colleges and universities for nurturing trees and engaging students and staff in conservation practices.
The national program was created by the Arbor 69´«Ã½ Foundation in 2008.
To earn the Tree Campus USA title, UL 69´«Ã½ met five standards for effective campus forest management:
- a tree advisory committee;
- a campus tree-care plan;
- dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program:
- an Arbor 69´«Ã½ observance; and
- a student service-learning project.
