3,600 Shades of Green: A Survey of CSUN's Trees

A group of geography undergraduate students, led by Assoc. Professor Helen Cox of the Institute for Sustainability, began a new survey of CSUN's trees to determine the amount of CO2 they sequester and to update the plant atlas detailing the location and species of every tree on campus. Watch Dr. Cox explain the project and see her students in action.

Thank you so much for the information. I love trees and I am always amazed at the array of different trees you have on your campus. It is such a wonderful place to walk around especially on the weekends.

I love to learn more about the origin of the trees. Wish you could post some sort of sign by them.
