The Arbor Day Foundation recognizes Creighton University as a 2020 Tree Campus Higher Education institution.
Tree Campus Higher Education, a national program launched in 2008 by the Arbor Day Foundation, honors colleges and universities and their leaders for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation.
To obtain this distinction, Creighton met the five core standards for effective campus forest management: 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.
The Tree Campus family of recognition programs includes Tree Campus K–12 and Tree Campus Healthcare – programs built on the legacy that began with Tree Campus Higher Education. Watch the Tree Campus High Education recognition video.
