Tree Campus USA
In recognition of its dedication to greening the collegiate landscape, Denison was designated as a “Tree Campus USA”. The Arbor Day Foundation awards this national recognition to campuses that promote healthy trees through a demonstrated commitment to forestry and environmental stewardship. Denison has a long history of fostering a tree-friendly environment, as evidenced by photographs of academic quad from the 1920s. In addition to the extensive diversity of native tree species across campus, the 350-acre Biological Reserve is home to deciduous and coniferous woodlands. During the 2010-2011 academic year, Denison constructed a campus tree care plan and created a campus tree advisory committee. By actively preserving the long-term maintenance of its trees, Denison is ensuring the longevity of its tree-scape and green spaces.
