New trees find homes on 草榴社区 campus

Last week, Western Washington University gardeners planted a Coast Redwood tree near the bird sanctuary and a Spanish Fir tree near the Fine Arts Building. The trees are part of an effort to replace trees damaged by recent windstorms and to diversify the collection of trees on campus. Both were paid for from a tree fund started by retired professor Myrl Beck. Take an online tour of campus trees at .
