Nine Favorite Trees V.3

We asked residents, staff, and board of the Panorama retirement community in Lacey, WA, to nominate trees that have special meaning for them

Introduction

The trees that were nominated are among the 1,500 varieties of trees and shrubs located on the Panorama campus. The nine trees or groves that we selected among the nominations all have special meaning in different, inspiring, and delightful ways. We have presented the results of the project by way of an interactive map, and nine short videos. Videos are first, then scroll to or use the navigation bar to see the map of tree locations.
