10 Observations/Questions
10 Generalized:
1. Observation – Some trees around campus have tags on them stating the species of tree.
Question – Why does Manchester tag the trees? Does the tagging of trees affect the trees at all?
2. Observation – One of the trees between Oakwood and the Administration building has had its branches cut/trimmed for aesthetic purposes, I assume.
Question – How does the tree respond to this? Can those branches grow back? Or will it remain a nub?
3. Observation – The fountain at the Peace Garden has a strong smell of chemicals.
Question – What is the purpose of the chemicals?
4. Observation – Manchester mows around campus A LOT.
Question – How much per year does Manchester spend per year on mowing? How much pollution …show more content…
Observation – Some trees around campus have tags on them stating the species of tree.
Question – Does tagging the trees have a negative effect on them?
Potential Answer – No, Manchester appears to have a special relationship with the trees on campus. Therefore, I would assume that they would not do something that would negatively impact the trees.
8. Observation – Manchester University has a rather large population of squirrels.
Question – Does Manchester University naturally produce an environment that harbors a large population of squirrels?
Potential Answer – Yes, MU has a large number of trees and food for squirrels to be able to thrive. However, I would assume that MU’s protections on the squirrels has a huge impact on the large number of them. Without the protections, they may be hunted by humans and other species.
2. Observation – One of the trees between Oakwood and the Administration building has had its branches cut/trimmed for aesthetic purposes, I assume.
Question – Once a tree has had its limb cut off, is it able to grow back?
Potential Answer – No, trees are unable to regrow fallen or cut limbs. The area will “heal” and create a knot.
5. Observation – Manchester uses flowers to decorate its campus, but they are not our school
