As part of our ongoing tree pruning, maintenance, and inspection program, we have a Dutch Elm tree that has lost a large branch and has extensive rot in the trunk and branch attachments. Our Arborist has deemed this to be a safety issue and must be removed. This elm tree is located in the Main Quadrangle accross from Steel Building. This removal is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 25, 2016. Two (2) trees will be planted to replace the removed tree, in either the existing location or at a new location on campus.

While the contractors have been instructed that the work be executed with the least possible interference or disturbance to the campus community, a certain amount of disruption is inevitable. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jackie MacPhail, Facilities Management at 6034 or jmacphail@upei.ca.
