Kent State tree campus
for the fifth straight year
The Arbor Day Foundation recently honored Kent State University with a "Tree Campus USA" designation for the fifth time in the program's five-year history.
KSU grounds manager Heather White said her staff is dedicated to achieving the designation, which recognizes excellence in campus tree management. "At this point, we're like a heat-seeking missile," White said. "We're going after it every year."
According to the Arbor Day Foundation, schools must meet five standards to be named a "Tree Campus."
White said while the university meets the four standards easily every year, KSU officials must put serious work into creating a service project. This fall, geology students began an effort to create a database of all of the trees on campus for future use by the university's grounds staff.
She said students working on the project, which also served as a two-credit hour class, inventoried about 300 trees. The effort will likely continue for multiple years, both as a class and a resource for the university.
