Georgia Gwinnett College earns tree campus designation

For the third consecutive year, the non-profit Arbor Day Foundation has recognized Georgia Gwinnett College as a Tree Campus.

“It is important to have healthy trees and urban forests on campus because it is a way that we can combat global climate change locally and benefit from positive impacts immediately,” said Marcia Ford, director of environmental health and safety.

The Tree Campus USA program honors colleges and universities for managing campus trees effectively and engaging students and faculty in conservation efforts.
