JAMESTOWN – The Arbor Day Foundation has designated Jamestown Community College as a Tree Campus USA for the fourth year in a row.
JCC, the first community college in New York state to earn the Tree Campus USA designation, achieved the title by meeting five standards, which include maintaining a tree advisory committee, a campus tree care plan, dedicated annual expenditures toward trees, an Arbor Day observance and student service-learning projects.
Tree Campus USA is a national program created in 2008 to honor colleges and universities for effective campus forest management and for engaging staff and students in conservation goals. Toyota, which helped launch the program, continues to provide financial support for Tree Campus USA.
