Another removal for progress.
Updates about the Trees on Campus at Wesleyan University
Another removal for progress.
This tree also has to come down. Two of the four removals are needed because of space and health.
This large larch was broken by the wind this week, and needs to be removed ASAP. It cannot remain like this for another storm. It is located near Zilkha Gallery.
The house at 231 Pine St. is being replaced by a new upper class housing unit. To do that, some of the trees around the site must be removed. Some of the removals are dying, and care will be taken to preserve as many of the remaining trees as possible.
This maple was planted too close to the house, and is causing structural damage, it is in the way of repairing the steps and installing a drain down the hill, and will be removed in August.
This once beautiful eastern redbud has finally succumbed to the ravages of the fir at Mystical Seven. It will be removed when the building is moved to its new location next month.
One of our remaining elms on the main campus has contracted Dutch Elm desease, and needs to be removed immediately. The elms near the infected tree will be prophylactically pruned and cleaned, in an attempt to keep any more trees from dying. The work should be done on Monday, June 25.
This Zelkova and teak bench was planted this spring, thanks to an anonymous donor, in honor of Barbara-Jan Wilson and her many major accomplishments.
A medium sized maple at VVO is in decline. To save money and maintain safety in this area, the tree will be removed as we do safety work in this part of campus.
This tree at 203 Pine St. has been allowed to grow too near the house for too long. Now the roof has to be replaced, and the tree taken down. This will happen on Monday, June 11.
