Turning a New Leaf

In January, an Italian Stone Pine tree fell after high winds and caused damage to Broad Hall. Following an arborist’s recommendation, Facilities & Campus Services removed three more non-native Italian Stone Pine trees from the Mounds in early February. Students hosted several celebrations on the Mounds to memorialize the trees, including a live DJ set. Pitzer’s Sustainability Committee and Facilities quickly collaborated to plant new native trees (11 Western Sycamores and 4 Coast Live Oaks) during spring break.
