Campus walks

Campus walks are an opportunity to learn more about the ecological and adaptive features of plants on campus. Click on "Campus walks" above to see the walking options that I have used in teaching. Each walk is designed to take 45 minutes, with stops along the way to describe the geographic distributions and ecology of different plants. Below you get a climpse of possible categories among the trees planted across campus. We also include green infrastructure.
