A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The Interactive Tree Trails were developed in 2016 in collaboration with the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management. There are two different trails, the Acadian Tree Trail and the Provincial Tree Trail which features their respective tree species. The trails allow individuals to connect with nature, learn about the ecological benefits provided by the trees as well as learning how to identify them. Signs with barcodes are located beside the trees which allow students to scan them using their cellphones to learn all about that tree. Through this virtual tour, individuals can better understand the biodiversity of tree species on campus, see detailed pictures and learn interesting facts.
