Tree Management

The map above shows our plans for new tree plantings. Landscaping Services also performs a yearly risk management inspection of all inventoried campus trees. Upon the completion of this year's inspection, our Consulting Arborist recommended the trees for included in the map below removal. These trees pose a significant risk of failure and have the potential to cause personal injury or property damage.

Clemson University is committed to providing a safe, attractive, educational and sustainable campus urban forest through preservation of existing trees and new tree plantings. A tree may be considered for removal for any of the following reasons:

• It is determined to be dead or diseased beyond preservation
• its location, condition, or deterioration constitutes a safety hazard
• its location affects the preservation and maintenance of adjacent buildings
• the tree is damaged from the elements or disease to the extent that its appearance is unduly affected
• its location is determined to be an obstruction or hazard to utility lines
• its location interferes with the construction of facilities and associated site development

Trees may also be removed for other reasons deemed appropriate by the Director of Landscape Services in consultation with the University Arborist and independent arbor consultants.
