A brief description of the institution's Tree Campus USA program:

This is an excerpt from our 2008 Tree Care Plan. We were in the first round of schools to receive Tree Campus Designation and have retained the honor since that time.

"The purpose of the Northland College campus tree care plan is to establish a routine, comprehensive forestry program. The overall goal is to improve the quality of campus life and maximize environmental benefits by fitting trees effectively into the physical infrastructure of the campus. The specific phase one objectives of the plan are:
• Initiate a process to inventory campus tree resources, recognizing the unique characteristics of built, natural and riparian environments,
• Integrate procedures for estimating benefits and costs of the campus forest into all appropriate curriculum and sustainability initiatives.
• Educate the campus and regional community on the value of community forests.
• Collaborate with City of Ashland Tree Management Advisory Board and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Northern Regional Urban Forestry Coordinator on Tree City USA efforts and Arbor Day celebrations.
• Achieve Tree Campus USA designation from Arbor Day Foundation
