Trees @ DePaul |
The students at LUFA are working hard on activities that promote and advocate for trees on the DePaul University main campus in Lincoln Park. See below for information on the Student Tree Committee, which is working towards obtaining DePaul's certification as a Tree Campus USA and creating a DePaul Tree Board. The students of the ENV 341 Urban Forests class also periodically updates a DePaul Tree Inventory.

Tree Campus USA
DePaul is working towards a Tree Campus USA certification through the Arbor Day Foundation. We have a goal of being a Tree Campus by 2018. Check back soon for more information and progress updates!
Lincoln Park Campus Tree Inventory
In order to manage our urban forest now and into the future, it's important to know 'what we have' now, how this compares to 'what we want,' and then we can get some sense of how we can get there. For DePaul's urban forest, knowing 'what we have' means conducting a complete inventory of all the trees on our campus. Students in the ENV 341 Urban Forests class keep the DePaul Lincoln Park Campus tree inventory up-to-date. Their reports are available below.
Environmental Studies and Geography major Rasa Whittaker worked in 2018 to digitize the paper maps made during the fall 2017 ENV 341 tree inventory. Click below for a digital map of DePaul's trees!
