As part of the university’s focus on sustainability, we have begun planning the transformation of our campus into an Arboretum and Botanical Garden. While this goal is challenging, we are excited by the potential such a transformation would offer the university community and the citizens of Maryland. We envision the campus becoming an instrument of our educational and research missions. Such a transformation will not only enhance the beauty and appearance of the campus, but will also provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate the best practices in environmental stewardship, horticulture and landscape design.

This Campus Tree Walk is the first visible step in this transformation process.
