Campus Tree Inventory
Dartmouth College
Hanover, New Hampshire
Stately trees and green lawns characterize the austere Dartmouth landscape. The campus trees reinforce fundamental design principles that organize the campus. The trees define open spaces, axial alignments, and serve a multitude of aesthetic and environmental functions. Their care and management is crucial to the preservation of campus identity and the enrichment of its landscape character.
The Dartmouth Tree Inventory is a dynamic planning and management tool that provides a sound foundation for the development of an effectual management plan. The inventory enables the management team to make informed decisions relevant to establishing operating budgets, labor requirements, and the supervision of outside contractors. The inventory is also an important planning tool and is vital to making informed decisions regarding campus expansion and the selection of future development sites.
