CAMPUS TREES SELF-GUIDED AUDIO TOUR

For the sixth consecutive year, TCU has earned Tree Campus USA recognition by the Arbor Day Foundation. The national program, launched in 2008, honors colleges and universities and their leaders for promoting healthy trees and engaging students and staff in the spirit of conservation.
