Arbor Day Foundation honors ENMU

PORTALES – The Arbor Day Foundation named Eastern New Mexico University a “Tree Campus Higher Education” member for the second year,

According a news release from John Houser of ENMU’s marketing and communications department, the honor is due to the university’s “commitment to effective urban forest management.”

Arbor Day Foundation chief executive Dan Lambe said. “Having trees on college and university campuses is a great way to show a commitment to student and faculty overall well-being.”

The Tree Campus Higher Education program honors colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and engaging staff and students in conservation goals.

ENMU received the title by meeting Tree Campus Higher Education’s five standards: Maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree care plan, dedicated annual expenditures for a campus tree program, an Arbor Day observance, and student service-learning projects.

ENMU is one of 393 campuses across the United States with this recognition.
