Prince George's Audubon Society Certified Habitats

The Arboretum began a collaboration in 2023 with Epsilon Eta and the Prince George's Audubon Society to recognize its commitment to bird habitat on campus. Epsilon Eta, the co-ed, professional fraternity focusing on Environmental Science and Sustainability was established in the Fall Semester of 2019. This organization focuses on professional and academic development through service days, on- and off-campus projects designed and implemented by members, and social events.

ArbNet Level IV Accreditation

In 2019, the University became a Level IV ArbNet Accredited Arboretum by The ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program and The Morton Arboretum, for achieving particular standards of professional practices deemed important for arboreta and botanic gardens. The ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program is the only global initiative to officially recognize arboreta at various levels of development, capacity, and professionalism. 

 

Tree Campus Higher Education

Since the inaugural year of the arboretum in 2008, the University has been honored by the Arbor Day Foundation with the designation of Tree Campus USA, now called Tree Campus Higher Education – one of just 25 campuses to do so.
