A line-of-sight pathway is needed between the security camera at the Shelter House and a point on one of the Ohio State-Marion buildings. The region between the camera and the buildings includes some oak trees worthy of preservation. The oaks were mapped in late October 2025. The image below shows 4 possible camera arrangements–two each on the roofs of the library and the MSE building. All of the oak trees north of the Shelter House (north is down) are labelled with numbers.
The oak trees are shown here in no particular order (the numbers 1-8 correspond to locations on the image above).
1: bur oak (photo taken facing east)
2: red oak (photo taken facing east)
3: pin oak (photo taken facing east)
4: shingle oak (photo taken facing northwest)
5: three shingle oaks (photo taken facing east)
6: two bur oaks (photo taken facing north)
7: bur oak (photo taken facing south)
8: three bur oaks (photo taken facing west)
