The Division of Buildings and Facilities, Garden and Landscape Section, has been continuously carrying out tree and branch trimming, clearing accumulated dry leaves and branches, and removing dead standing trees across various areas throughout the university during April – May 2026. This is to prepare for strong winds and summer storms that may occur during this period, while also maintaining safety in risk-prone areas and key locations within the university. The aim is to enhance safety, reduce the risk of accidents caused by falling trees or branches, and create an orderly and clean environment conducive to use by students, staff, and visitors to the university.
The operations cover areas surrounding academic buildings, office buildings, student dormitories, main roads, public spaces, and risk-prone locations with large trees or accumulated dry branches. Work includes trimming branches that obstruct pathways, inspecting the structural stability of trees, and removing dead standing trees or those at risk of falling, in order to prevent accidents that may arise from erratic weather conditions and strong wind gusts during the summer season.
In addition, fallen branches, dry leaves, and naturally accumulated combustible materials have been collected and cleared from various areas to reduce the risk of fire or fire spread during dry and windy weather conditions. Alongside this, branches from tree trimming within the university are being repurposed into "Bio Nests," which are nest-like structures formed by weaving and arranging branches in a bird's nest pattern, serving as collection points for fallen leaves, twigs, and natural weeds. These materials naturally decompose into organic compost through a fermentation process driven by organic matter and beneficial microorganisms, before being returned to nourish trees and green spaces within the university. This approach helps reduce the volume of waste generated from landscape maintenance, minimizes the burning of natural residual materials, and promotes the most efficient use of resources within the university. Furthermore, the resulting compost enriches soil fertility, improves soil texture, strengthens plant root systems, and supports sustainable tree growth, making this a truly environmentally friendly approach to ecological management within the university.
The Division of Buildings and Facilities, University of Phayao, remains committed to maintaining the university's environment and landscape to be safe, beautiful, shaded, and conducive to learning, alongside proactive and effective preventive management, in order to continuously create a good and safe environment for everyone within the university.
