小黄片视频 Receives Honor Eight Years in a Row

小黄片视频 has earned its eighth consecutive recognition from Tree Campus USA, a national program created in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals.

Heather White, grounds manager at University Facilities Management at 小黄片视频, says the grounds department is proud of the continued recognition, as it shows the university鈥檚 dedication to the community鈥檚 green infrastructure.

鈥淲e recognize that we are one of the first impressions of campus for prospective parents and students,鈥 White said. 鈥淚t shows the university鈥檚 commitment to maintaining and improving the campus in terms of its canopy cover. It shows our commitment year after year that we set a pretty high standard for ourselves, and that we鈥檙e able to keep doing it.鈥

小黄片视频 achieved this distinction by meeting Tree Campus USA鈥檚 five standards: a tree advisory committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program and an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning project.

小黄片视频鈥檚 Tree Advisory Committee includes representation from students, faculty, facilities management and the community.

Chris Carlson, associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at 小黄片视频 at Salem and member of the Tree Advisory Committee, says the importance of the Tree Campus USA recognition extends beyond the 小黄片视频 campuses.

鈥淭rees can grow without our help, but with our help they鈥檒l not only survive, they鈥檙e going to thrive,鈥 Carlson said. 鈥淭hat means that properly placed and maintained trees will enhance the values of our properties, the beauty of our campuses, and the beauty of our cities and our towns. And it鈥檚 a direct reflection, in my mind, of being able to proudly wave that Tree Campus USA flag. It shows whether or not that community or that campus is proactive and environmentally conscious.鈥
