That is why forests count, but count zero, in real carbon footprint studies unless the forest biomass is actually expanding. And even then, once the forest stabilizes in size, the carbon footprint becomes unchanged even though at the individual tree level, there may be a great deal of carbon turnover.

I myself hope to go to Boston College, while I am there I hope to make advancements such as this. In other words, I couldn’t have done better myself! (Please excuse the cliche)

I’ve learned so much about the species here. I enjoyed the beautiful pictures and informative text.

I especially appreciate Kevin’s map, and hope it can continue to be populated with ever more detail about any and all of BC’s outstanding arboreal resource. Thank you to all involved.

So cool to see some unusual trees.

In fact, I emailed Patrick Keating months ago with several ideas for Boston College including the establishment of a tree fund that would involve the preservation of existing trees on campus as well as the planting of new ones.

I sincerely hope that this project and other projects pertaining to the history, architecture, and campus of Boston College can be permanently and prominently displayed on the website under a “History” tab. It would a a shame for the work done on this project to simply be archived (deep within the BC homepage) and never seen within the contents of an easily accessible tab on the homepage by the general public again.

Please emphasize this project and all other projects pertaining to the history, architecture, and campus of this truly great university.

A few lingering questions: What is the tallest tree on campus? How about the oldest? When will Newton Campus be surveyed? And why was one of my favorite trees (which burst into magnificent color each fall and stood near Futon on the Dustbowl, well outside the Stokes Hall construction area) chopped down earlier this year?
Thanks again.
