In this profusely illustrated work the authors identify 86 different trees found on the campus of the University of Utah, the state of Utah's designated arboretum. Each tree description includes the location of each speciman - GPS coordinates are also printed at the rear. In 1930, Dr. Walter P. Cottam, co-founder of The Nature Conservancy and chairman of the Botany Department at the University of Utah, began using campus land for plant research. For more than 30 years, he evaluated plants to determine their adaptability to our region. In 1961, the Utah State Legislature formally recognized Cottam s impressive collection by designating the University's campus landscape as a State Arboretum. Rare. We locate a single institutional holding (UU). Codice articolo 9934
