For the third year in a row, the Arbor Day Foundation has named UMW a Tree Campus USA. The award recognizes colleges and universities that promote healthy trees and engage their communities in the spirit of conservation.

UMW has a campus tree-care plan, and it dedicates annual expenditures for campus trees.

Mary Washington is one of only six Virginia institutions to receive the honor.
