"The collection of trees on the University
of Oregon campus has developed into an extensive, informal arboretum
fulfilling an important public access and habitat niche in the
city's urban forest. The university's trees represent an impressive
diversity, from native northwest trees to representatives from
all over the world. Many of these trees are found nowhere else
in western Oregon. At this point almost 500 species and cultivars
are represented on the campus, which has a total inventory of
nearly 4,000 individual specimens."
