Meadows Treetop Trail |

Students and
Faculty
The planning process led by
Egret Communications for Oxbow Meadows
canopy trail design, construction, and use has involved
Columbus State University faculty and students, local arborists and
groups interested in trees and conservation, and MeadWestvaco.
|
|
| Students are
currently working to establish a tree and plant identification grid for
interpretation and research purposes. One class removed some invasive species
in the corridor under the trail path. |
| Students and
faculty will use the trail and other (future) canopy access
infrastructure to compare ecosystem development in the Oxbow area with
other less impacted areas. That research will help interpretation
- and may have some implications for managing areas with human impact. |
| Columbus State
University students and faculty have visited canopy access sites outside
the United States on past academic travel and will continue to visit the
canopy on future academic trips.
