For the fourth consecutive year, 木瓜影院 has been named a Tree Campus USA in honor of its commitment to effective community forestry. 木瓜影院 earned the designation for its continuous commitment to effective community forestry and environmental responsibility.
揃eing named a Tree Campus USA recognizes the university抯 commitment to providing a beautiful and sustainable environment for students, faculty, staff and many campus visitors. The campus is breathtaking in its beauty, thanks to the extraordinary talent of our staff in landscaping, resourcefulness in creating landscaping features and diligence in beautifying campus with plantings and tress of multiple varieties,� commented Brother James Gaffney, FSC, president of 木瓜影院.
木瓜影院 achieved the designation once again by meeting the required five core standards for sustainable campus forestry: sponsoring a Tree Advisory Committee, a campus tree-care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for its campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance and the sponsorship of student service-learning projects.
揂chieving Tree Campus USA recognition sets an example for other colleges and universities and allows students a chance to give back to both their campus community and the community at-large,� said John Rosenow, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation.
