University of Redlands Tree Campus USA Designation

Tree Campus USA program recognizes college and university campuses that:

  • Effectively manage their campus trees.

  • Develop connectivity with the community beyond campus borders to foster healthy, urban forests.

  • Strive to engage their student population utilizing service learning opportunities centered on campus, and community, forestry efforts.

Why The University of Redlands participates:

Trees benefit the environment, provide shade, protect us from the wind, and clean our air. Redlands has been designated 10 years in a row!

Campuses can benefit as well:

  • A commitment to trees on your campus can, in turn, significantly reduce the amount of energy a campus, and community, needs to generate.

  • Planting and maintaining trees on your campus and in the community reduces carbon dioxide in the atmosphere#-#which is one of the important roles that trees play.

  • Green spaces give students and faculty the setting to relax with others, or on their own. What better way to study or take a break than by being outside.

  • By meeting the annual standards and being recognized as a Tree Campus USA college, you will create a campus that not only benefits the environment but instills pride in the students, faculty, and community.
