Publication Type: Briefing Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The Environmental Studies Program at our university is emphasizing community-based service and research in a recently-revised curriculum. A required service-learning course connects students with the sustainability mission of our institution and with environmental efforts in our broader community in Upstate New York. Work with community partners gives students authentic experience with the economic, social, and physical context for environmental challenges and their solutions. A student project aimed at surveying and documenting the environmental value of street trees in the Village of Hamilton, New York provides a good example of how student work can help local communities to make informed decisions regarding natural resources. We estimated that street trees provide $50,000 annually in ecosystem services to this village of approximately 3,500 people, including $18,000 in energy savings and $500 in carbon sequestration. Further, this work documented a decline in street-tree abundance and a change in composition during the past 10 years. Online tools developed by undergraduate students provide village residents with a greater understanding of their environment and the economic value of natural resources often taken for granted. Service-learning courses represent an important mechanism for strengthening university-community relationships, providing students with authentic experiences, and contributing to the solution of large environmental challenges.
