Tree Removal Work during Spring Break Mar 23-25

There are CAS campus trees that have critical defects defined by arborists.

March 23, 2026

The City agreed with the arborist’s feedback and has issued permits for Lewis & Clark to remove the defected trees.

The contractor is Citywide Tree Service, and they will be arriving with tree climbers and big chipper trucks to begin work starting Monday, March 23. We have encouraged the contractor to move as safely and swiftly as possible to minimize risk and complete the work during spring break to avoid disruption.

As always, tree removal can be noisy, with ground controls and some access challenges in the area. Everyone should be able to navigate campus safely, but a flagger may ask you to wait a moment as delimbing is performed.

The impacted areas and scheduled dates are noted below: 

March 23

Numerous truck loads of debris are scheduled to be removed from the area between Cobblestone Circle and Manor House. This involves a loader repeatedly traversing from the debris area into the Cobblestone Circle, which could have occasional impacts on foot traffic coming on/off the covered bridge.

March 24

Pruning/inspection on maple, south of Hartzfeld buildings (parking impact)
Pruning/inspection on fir, south of Holmes (parking impact)
Removal of leaning maple along south Facilities entrance ramp (2 hour closure)

March 25

Deadwood removal on oak, west of Platt Hall Deadwood removal on maple, west of Howard Hall (parking impact) Pruning/inspection on hemlock, along Huddleston. Trucks will be parked on the Huddleston curb, but traffic flow should continue.

March 26

Weather dependent make-up day in the event more time is needed.
