The Giving Trees
Stanford’s on-site milling program transforms fallen limbs into campus benches and student art–providing the campus community a sustainable alternative to imported lumber.
Turn your sustainability ideas into real change on campus
Advance your sustainability priorities through hands-on student collaboration that drives innovation and measurable impact for your department and across campus. The Call for AY26–27 Fellowship and Internship project proposals is now closed and will reopen for AY27–28 in Fall 2026.
Project ideas from operational partners, faculty, research teams, and students are welcome year-round to help transform Stanford’s campus into a living laboratory for sustainability. While not all ideas move forward as formal fellowship or internship placements, submissions are always valued, and some projects may be explored through pilot efforts, ad hoc collaborations, or future recruitment cycles.
