CORNELL COLLEGE
Memorial Trees & Landscaping


In order to preserve the park-like beauty of campus, it is college policy to not tag or put signage of any kind on or near trees that have been planted in honorarium or memorium. In exchange, the College provides this online map to serve as a permanent record and tribute to those honored. A full scale map is also displayed prominently in The Commons thanks to a generous gift from the class of 2003.

Hover your cursor over any purple dot to identify the tree and click the dot to jump to the tree's detailed information.

If you feel a tree location is missing from this map, please contact the Office of Alumni & College Advancement, 895-4153.
