Institutional based forestry is of primary interest because it provides numerous ecosystem, goods and services which benefit humankind. On that premise, this study aimed at deciphering people perceptions and levels of utilization of institutional -based forestry using the university of Benin (ugbowo campus) as a case in point. Employing mean Analyses and Frequency Analyses, the study revealed that the University community is aware of the existence of institutional -based forestry in the Ugbowo Campus. Also revealed is the fact that tree of different species are located almost everywhere in the Ugbowo Campus of the University of Benin, and are used for different purposes, viz. relaxation, aesthetic and shades for vehicles. Conversely, the study revealed that trees are poorly maintained. Similar to this is the finding that areas where there are trees are often affected by storms where roofing sheets are blown -off by the wind. The study recommended amongst other things that, specialized personnel be employed to carter for the trees, funds be provided by the University authority, trees be treated regularly with pesticides and insecticide, and crucially areas currently lacking trees be provided with such.
