Campus Nature
TCU has a beautiful canopy of trees! In March 2023, the Arbor Day Foundation named TCU a Tree Campus Higher Education Institution for the seventh year in a row. Since 2020, TCU has been an active member of the nationwide Campus Rx Nature Network.
We’re excited about these groups focused on the nature-rich areas on TCU campus:
Garden Frogs, led by Kim Rahebi, Health Sciences PhD student
TCU Outdoor Programs, led by Emily Tumilty, TCU Coordinator of Outdoor Programs
TCU Tree Advisory Committee, led by certified arborist Erik Trevino, TCU Director of Landscaping and Grounds.
Frogs in the Forest, led by Jessie Farris, Science Education PhD student
Undergraduate and graduate students have conducted research focused on campus nature and the effects of community-based nature activities on student mental health.
The TCU community is focused on sustainability practices as well — read about TCU Sustainability to learn more and to get involved!
