| Tree removal on campus |
| In the next week, several trees on campus will be marked for removal. Many are ash trees infested with the emerald ash borer, and others are succumbing to age and other weaknesses. We are anticipating removal to happen the last two weeks of June. Please avoid areas where the removal is occurring. The Landscape and Natural Resource Committee will review replacement of the trees (species and location). Follow Sustainability at Wartburg on Facebook for the most up-to-date information. |
