Is the institution recognized by the Arbor Day Foundation's Tree Campus USA program?:
A brief description of the institution's Tree Campus USA program:
The University of Georgia is a recipient of donated trees as part of a Sustainable Tree Trust Program established by Select Trees. The program includes the planting of mature native canopy trees on UGA property, under the supervision of the PPD Grounds Department. The University is committed to ensuring the tree's long-term health and contribution to the campus environment. The first round of tree planting was completed in spring of 2010.
The University of Georgia campus was designated as an arboretum in 2000. The Campus Arboretum provides opportunities for academics and research in landscape architecture and environmental planning, ecology, engineering, forestry, geography, and more. The Office of Sustainability is partnering with PPD Grounds Department and others in a grant-funded project to enhance the tree inventory GIS database, documenting physical characteristics of campus trees and developing strategies to ensure effective long-term management of these resources.
