Trees in many areas of the campus have been marked with brown plastic signs indicating the tree's scientific and common name. A short walk between the Galvin and Reed Hall faculty parking areas will pass by many tree species, including those specifically marked on the map below. Each number on the map represents a different tree species, each described in the following web pages and each physically marked with a brown plastic sign. Additional tree species not specifically shown on the map also have signs and some are described at this web site.
A free brochure that duplicates the contents of this tree identification web site is available from Charles Good (see below). The brochure includes the walkabout map, tree descriptions, natural area trail map, and black and white drawings of leaves.
