Tree work scheduled on Capitol Campus Monday, March 18

OLYMPIA — Biofertilizer will be applied to Kwanzan cherry trees along Cherry Lane on West Capitol Campus on Monday, March 18, from 6 to 9 a.m. The work, originally scheduled for February, was postponed due to inclement weather.

The Washington State Department of Enterprise Services has contracted with Wolbert's Plant Essentials for the work, which aims to improve tree health.

The contractor also will treat the historic Bush butternut tree on West Campus to control butternut blister mites, which are affecting the tree.

No noise, pedestrian or auto traffic impacts are expected.
