2/14/2023 Campus Landscape Protection Advisory

Posted on by jepeters

As winter continues and rains have saturated the campus landscaping, I’d like to take a moment to remind you that the campus landscape is a valuable asset to the University, and one that is worth protecting. The following guidelines will help protect our trees, lawns, and plantings for the enjoyment and education of our students, staff, faculty, and campus visitors:

  1. When driving on campus – including small utility vehicles and golf carts – please stay on paved streets and pathways. This will protect both lawns and tree roots zones from damage
  2. Coordinate with the EMU Scheduling Office for outdoor events. They will be able to assist you to make your event successful and avoid damaging practices like driving stakes into the ground and tying ropes to campus plants or fixtures.
  3. Contact CPFM Work Control at 541-346-2319, or via the Call Log if you have any questions about the landscape, or if an activity you are planning might have an impact on the landscape. We are here to support campus activities as best we can, and we will offer guidance on landscape preservation and project planning to minimize landscape damage.

Thank you,

Campus Planning & Facilities Management, Facilities Services
