In 2008, Duke University became one of the first 29 schools in the nation, as well as the first university in North Carolina, to receive the designation of Tree Campus USA and celebrated with a tree planting last Arbor Day. Tree Campus USA is a new national program honoring universities for promoting healthy urban forest management and engaging the campus community in environmental stewardship. The trees for this planting will be donated to Duke by the Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota.
