University of Alabama to launch campus tree farm By Bryant Welbourne May 23, 2021 A tree farm to be developed at the University of Alabama will be used to propagate many different native plants on campus. (contributed) University of Alabama Campus Development has teamed with Facilities and Grounds to begin steps to create a campus tree farm, which will be used to propagate many different native plants including camellias, oaks and magnolias. The project for propagation of historical and heirloom trees coincides with the team goals for the campus to become more self-sustainable and play a key role in the green initiative. The team hopes the project will encourage more members of the UA community to get involved with this new service opportunity.
