A Tricentennial walking tour of the UNM campus Arboretum is scheduled for Friday, June 10 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. The Arboretum tour will give participants the opportunity to learn about tree care, landscaping, planting and pruning. The tour begins at the east end of the Duck Pond across from Zimmerman Library and ends at the Welcome Center.
The tour will highlight the grand old trees around the Duck Pond, some of which date back to the early days of UNM and are the largest examples of their type in Albuquerque. Many new and underutilized trees will also be included during the tour.
Physical Plant Arborist Supervisor Bryan Suhr, who will lead the tour and is personally involved in their daily care, encourages the participants to submit questions to him at: bsuhr@unm.edu. He will try to answer as many as possible during the tour.
The tour begins at the east end of the Duck Pond across from Zimmerman Library and ends at the Welcome Center with a variety of refreshments. For special needs, please request accommodations when making your reservation.
Space is limited, please call to reserve your place and obtain parking information at 277-1989 or email: evsanch@unm.edu.
