ABOUT US
  	Alliance for Community
Trees is dedicated to improving the environment where 80% of Americans  
live: our cities, towns, and villages. Together, ACT's national  
network of members have planted and cared for 14.9 million trees with  
help from 4.3 million volunteers.	

ABOUT WEBCASTS
The Third Thursday Webcast Series is a monthly webcast held at the  
lunch hour. The goal is to create informal trainings for local urban  
and community forestry organizations. The trainings leverage local  
successes by amplifying to a larger audience the model organizations'  
methods, materials, and approaches.

Tree Campus USA
May 21, 2009
1:00- 2:00pm EST

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,  
and strive to engage their student population utilizing service  
learning opportunities. By meeting the annual standards and being  
recognized as a Tree Campus USA college, you can create a campus that  
not only benefits the environment, but also instills pride in the  
students, faculty, and community.

ON THE GROUND
Teresa Rhodes, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful
In 2008, Keep Indianapolis Beautiful started their Tree Campus USA  
program in collaboration with Indiana University as a way for the  
college community to make a commitment to their campus trees.  
Sometimes overlooked, campus trees can significantly improve energy  
efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide, and provide green spaces for  
students and faculty to gather.
