CAMPUS TREES A Self-guided Tour

This self-guided tour will allow you to become familiar with approximately 170 different trees and shrubs found at U.B.C. Beginning at Gage Residence, because most delegates will be staying there, the tour (shown as the dotted red line on the map) covers most of the central part of the campus. You may, of course, pick up the trail from any convenient location.

The northern corner of the campus is included on the map as a second tour. It is recommended

that you continue on to see Graham House, Cecil Green Park, the Museum of Anthropology, and the Botanical Garden Office and Educational Centre. Although trees have not been labelled in these areas, the wide variety of the plantings makes it worth the extra walk. In addition, these buildings are located right on the cliffs of the Point Grey peninsula, and offer fine views of the water and North Shore.

Two inserts show, in detail, the plantings in

front of Main Library, and another indicates the trees found in the Old Arboretum. There is no special route through the Arboretum, and since most trees and shrubs are labelled, you can walk through and examine the plants that interest you.

Note that each number on the maps refers to a specific tree. A key to the species is included in this brochure, and lists both the scientific and common names. Enjoy your tour of U.B.C.!
