Establishing Westfield State University as a Tree Campus USA

For our project we have been making progress on Westfield State's application to become recognized as a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. We have been working on the five standards needed for approval: (1) Establishment of a campus tree advisory committee, (2) Evidence of a campus tree-care plan, (3) Verification of the plan’s dedicated annual expenditures, (4) Observing Arbor Day, (5) Creating a service-learning project aimed at engaging the student body.
