One treed hill

Denisonians already know this, but we’ll say it anyway: this hilltop campus is a lovely, leafy, woodsy place.

And now it’s official, because the Arbor Day Foundation has awarded Denison its Tree Campus USA distinction.

The Tree Campus USA program is an initiative designed to award national recognition to college campuses for promoting healthy urban forest management and engaging the campus community in environmental stewardship.

To celebrate, here’s a photo gallery of some of our favorite trees, with a little bit of everything—spring’s buds in purple; summer’s million shades of green; fall’s burning reds, and winter’s branches white with snow.
