A walk around the Temple University Ambler Campus provides a clear indication that the care of trees is an important aspect of the research and hands-on opportunities students and faculty in Temple’s School of Environmental Design engage in every semester. With a continued commitment to determining new and better ways to care for the campus’ tree collection, Temple University Ambler, home to the Ambler Arboretum of Temple University, was awarded a “Tree Campus USA” designation by the Arbor Day Foundation for 2012. 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. About the designation.
