Tree Tours

Mountain ash leaves, with pairs of lanceolate leaves running together along a spine ending in a single ovate terminal leaf

WWU is privileged to be the home of dozens of spectacular varieties of trees (the full census runs to more than 70 species). These four tree tours describe some of the more interesting specimens on campus and also provides some history about many of the trees.

North Campus
Hornbeam, with branches that reach upward and foliage that starts high off the ground
Old Main
Camperdown elm full view, with an umbrella-like crown hanging offset from the trunk
Central Campus
A lush, full-leafed tree dominates the center, standing before a low brick building and a modern, dark metal sculpture. A sunny, clear sky is overhead.
South Campus
Small tree with thin trunk and leafy green canopy in a landscaped area.
