BIO 140 Arboretum Project

BIO 140 Arboretum Project

 

"We value this land surrounding our campus, and we feel a strong sense of responsibility to preserve it for future generations of students, members of the community and visitors to Newport." – Chancellor M. Therese Antone, RSM

The University's 88-acre campus features mostly mature and exotic trees, originally designed by notable landscape architects such as the Olmsted brothers. The ongoing professional care and conservation of this historic landscape distinguishes Salve Regina among liberal arts institutions.

Committed to monitoring and maintaining its breathtaking natural canopy, the University supports initiatives that invite members of the University community and the general public to interact with the collection of specimen trees physically and/or virtually.

This project has the students photographing and documenting their observations of a particular tree over a period of time.

  • False Cypress -- Hinoki by Grace Flynn

    False Cypress -- Hinoki

    Grace Flynn

    In this semester my class and I in Biology Lab 140 chose one tree to document. The tree that I chose was the False Cypress-Hinoki. This tree was located in front of Misto Gatehouse. Every week I would take pictures of my tree and document changes I had noticed. Throughout the class I was able to see the changes that occurred to my tree.
