BHU completes a campus tree census, a green milestone for the university
Banaras Hindu University has documented the trees across its sprawling campus in a detailed census, recording species with ecological notes, habitat descriptions and photographs. University leaders described the effort as a historic milestone that other institutions could model, noting that the survey also catalogues species in several IUCN threat categories — underscoring the conservation value of BHU's green campus. For one of India's largest residential universities, the exercise is both a scientific record and a commitment to protecting its leafy environment for students and the wider Varanasi community. It pairs neatly with the university's growing focus on sustainability and environmental education.
