A brief description of the institution's Tree Campus USA program:
The NMSU Geography Department Spatial Applications Research Center (SpARC) Lab updated the 2011 inventory that was used for the 2011 STARS report. This included correcting diameters, height, and species identification that were collected from aerial photos taken in 2009 and 2010. The campus has been divided into twelve zones to facilitate data collection. Zone 2 is 99% completed with the remainder of the zones to be completed throughout the year. Data from the iTrees Street program will be used in the Geography Department Biogeography class as a field and GIS exercise for the 2013 spring semester. iTrees Streets is the main program currently used. The SpARC lab also uses iTrees Vue and Eco. These three programs are used to better evaluate and track the managed forest on campus.
