Campus construction projects often call for removal or transplanting of
trees. Many of them are old or stately. Some are rare. Others are common
and easily replaced. It is impossible to save every tree, and it is impractical
to try. Nonetheless, there is a growing interest in retaining as many of
the older trees as possible as the campus expands. The UA Campus Arboretum
is committed to helping in this process. How to prioritize? In response
to several requests, we are submitting this document to help with the steps
necessary for considering the value of the UA trees during planning, designing
and constructing the facilities of the University of Arizona campus.
