Grounds & Landscaping
Campus Arboretum
The University of New Mexico is a nationally recognized arboretum with over 5,000 trees from 235 different species. Open-grown trees, shrubs, and turfgrasses are on public display around campus for educational and recreational purposes. The campus landscape also provides many environmental benefits, such as sequestering of CO2, stormwater runoff abatement, increasing air, soil and water quality, shading of surfaces to reduce radiant energy absorption, cooling of the atmosphere via transpiration, and by reducing wind speed and infiltration into interior spaces, among others.
Campus Tree Care Plan
The Campus Tree Care Plan provides guidelines to establish, protect, maintain, and remove trees on the UNM Campus. The Tree Care Plan is a resource for campus staff and contractors to reference when planning and implementing activities that may impact UNM trees and establishes how trees must be protected from campus activities such as excavation, construction, and student and public events. The Tree Care Plan is overseen by the Campus Tree Care & Arboretum Advisory Committee.
Tree Inventory
You can access the UNM tree inventory for main campus and parts of north campus to explore the campus’s trees.
