For the 7th time, Ohio Northern has been named a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation.

Tree Campus USA honors universities and their leaders for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in conservation.

To obtain the recognition, Ohio Northern met the five standards for sustainable campus forestry including establishment of a tree advisory committee, evidence of 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.
