Beginning with the 2021/2022 school year, all elementary, middle, and high schools can earn recognition by meeting four goals:

• Establish a Tree Campus Team
• Create an Education Plan
• Lead a Hands-On Experience
• Hold an Arbor Day Observance

Tree Campus K-12 provides access to free resources and a simple framework for using campus and community trees as a learning tool. If your school already has a “green team,” celebrates Arbor Day, or covers tree-centric curriculum at any level, you are already on the path to earning recognition. If not, Tree Campus K-12 might be the perfect first step to inspiring the next generation of tree stewards.
