Understanding the function and value of street trees can promote management decisions that will improve human health and environmental quality. An assessment of the vegetation structure, function, and value of the Colgate University urban forest was conducted in 2021. Data from 2,596 trees located throughout Colgate University were analyzed using the i-Tree Eco model developed by the U.S. Forest Service, Northern Research Station.
Bicentennial Landscape Project
In recognition of its Bicentennial in 2019, Colgate launched the Bicentennial Landscape Project. The project is responsible for the new plantings of 200 trees on the iconic Academic Quad, Residential Quad, and surrounding areas, restoring tree cover to deforested locations on the campus.
