About the Nature Trail

The self-guided nature trail was developed as a graduate assistantship project by Elizabeth DeCicco, an Environmental Science P.S.M. student. The trail was mapped in ArcMap. QR codes link trail users to information about trees, shrubs, and general ecology. A brochure is available online with common trees and shrubs found on campus and a printable map.

While mapping the trails, Elizabeth also created an iNaturalist project featuring plants along the trail. This data will be used to create a species list for the campus. The iNaturalist Project automatically gathers observations made on campus so they can all be viewed on one page. After the trail mapping is complete in May 2022, the project will be open to the public. You may also request to join the project early.

Elizabeth is an illustrator and amateur botanist/mycologist. Elizabeth studied art as an undergraduate at Stockton University and Botanical Illustration at the New York Botanical Garden. Illustrations featured on this website were done in pen & ink and are copyright of the artist.
