Welcome to the Brockman Memorial Tree Tour, originally produced in 1980 by Professor C. Frank Brockman! In 2021 Theodore Hoss and Thuy Luu of the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences (SEFS) renovated the tour, creating a new website and adding trees to replace those lost over the years. This cache is located behind tree number 3, the Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata).
UW is home to over 500 species of trees. Nearby this spot are several of the specimens on the tree tour, including the European Larch, China-Fir, Deodar Cedar, and Grand Fir, all beautiful and representative of what can be expected on the full tree tour (which I would encourage the viewer to take). The full Brockman Memorial Tree Tour, as well as many additional resources about trees on campus, may be found at https://sites.google.com/uw.edu/schoolofenvironmentalandforest/home . FREE guided tours are offered about once a month during the school year, and are listed on the website. Additional campus tree tours and tree related information may also be found on the website. Also, take some time to check out the UW Medicinal Garden across the street, it is the largest in the Western Hemisphere.
