As part of the ongoing tree-pruning, maintenance, and inspection program, an Arborist has identified five trees on campus that need to be removed, they are either at the end of their life or have been deemed to be a safety issue. One maple is located on the west side of Cass Building, another maple in front of SDU Main Building and three locust in front of the Atlantic Veterinary College.

These removals are scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 5, 2017. Two trees will be planted to replace the removed trees, 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.
