The landscape of the historic district, also known as The Hill, primarily uses a mixture of native and non-native species that are proven to survive in this region.
The Hemphill and IC Lawn area is home to the pilot woodland project; more than 795 saplings are tracked to see how long it takes a dense forest to grow.
The landscape of the historic district, also known as The Hill, primarily uses a traditional southern pallette. This includes a mixture of native and non-native species that are proven to survive in this region. Per the Campus Landscape Master Plan, this area included parkland, woodland areas.
The Hemphill & IC Lawn area of campus is home to a wide variety of oaks planted in an open park-like setting. Also located in this area is the pilot woodland project, where over 795 saplings were planted in 2004 to see how long it would take to achieve a dense forest.
Tech Green has some of the largest trees on campus and has also undergone the most changes over the past 10 years. While protecting our old trees, Georgia Tech has planted numerous canopy trees to provide future growth as these older trees reach the end of their lives. This is a critical part of managing our urban forest.
