Spring is a great time to be out and about on campus, especially when the sun is shining and the trees are in full bloom. High temperatures have been in the upper 60s, but forecasters expect a bit of cooling and rain to roll in on Saturday.

A few weeks of late-winter sun have spurred trees and plants throughout campus to begin bursting into bloom earlier than normal. Weather forecasters expect a return to cloudy, cooler weather this week, however, with temperatures staying in the high 40s and low 50s.

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 http://www.wwu.edu/treetour/.
