CSUF. An Arboretum is a place
where a verity oi different trees
and plants are reserved for exhibi¬
tion and study.
The CSUF Arboretum was
dedicated in 1978.
"We jeed to save the trees,"
said Genito,
portant mid¬
term JDOSt
stiidents
probably do
not stop to
admire the
landscapeof
the CSUF
campus.
For Sal
Genito it is a
full-time
job. Making
sure the
grass is wa¬
tered, the
trees^ are
manicured,
the flowers
are bloom -
ing -nid that
the weeds
are killed.
Genito is the Director of Plant
Operations and the Arboretum at
"We are dealing
with a 50 year old
irrigation system
and with the budget
cuts we can't keep
up with the growth
of (he trees. But we
are hoping to get this
solved in Arboretum
committee."
—Sal Genito
"The trees
are in a cur¬
rent state of
stress and
they are go¬
ing to die
with out our
awareness."
Genito is
hoping ;jo_v

the Arbore¬
tum and in¬
crease it's

"Right,
now we are
dealing with
compaction

the trees. But we are booing to get
this solved in Arboretum commit-

Genito says the Arboretum
could benefit from the reducing of
compaction, more wato/and if stu¬
dents would stay on the sidewalks
instead of cutting trails across the
grass.
Some of the trees were lost a
couple years back dining ihe
freeze. About 100 trees die* Dis¬
ease and drought al so fake the lives
of many trees-also. There are still
49 species ottrees in the Arbore¬
tum. - r
There is an "Arboretum Walk"
available to students who wish to
familiarize themselves further with
the foliage on campus.
