SPECIES
FOUND IN THE TOP SECTION OF THE GREEN BELT
The species in the table were planted in the top section of the Arboretum, quite near Spilhaus Ave.
GPS values are given IN RED for some trees planted somewhat lower down, to make it easier to locate the species.
The GPS South value is given in column 4 and the GPS East value is given in column 5.
It should be noted that the GPS values are affected by the air density in the troposphere and errors as large as 40 m may sometimes occur.
A much more accurate method to find the position of a tree is given below:
White mini-beacons (40 mm * 70 mm) have been placed in the arboretum, normally visible from the various tracks.
A number appears on its western face (mountain side) and eastern face and is listed in column 3 in the table.
The distance between the tree and the beacon is given in black in column 4, and the direction to the tree is given in black in column 5.
