ARC Recognized by Tree Campus USA Program

American River College has been honored with 2018 Tree Campus USA recognition by the National Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to effective urban forest management. ARC is one of only three California community colleges as well as one of only 13 two- and four-year California colleges and universities to receive this recognition. This marks the third consecutive year ARC has been recognized, following initial recognition in 2016.

The recognition follows a lot of hard work by a team of staff, faculty, and students. The Tree Campus USA program recognizes college and university campuses that:

• Effectively manage their campus trees
• Develop connectivity with the community beyond campus borders to foster healthy, urban forests
• Strive to engage their student population utilizing service learning opportunities centered on campus, and community, forestry efforts
