Previous Project Leader: Jorge Cantu
As a graduate student at the University of Texas Pan-American, Jorge led a campus-wide research project, which has granted UTRGV a place with the Tree Campus USA Initiative.

Cantu's findings contributed largely to UTRGV earning its first ever Tree Campus USA designation for the Edinburg campus. 

screenshot from tree campus report (2014) that shows Cantu's map of campus trees.

By becoming a Tree Campus College we will further instill pride in our green space with proper maintenance and control.


We will be conducting another campus tree inventory in Spring or Fall 2020.
