WEST LIBERTY West Liberty University campus beautification got a boost this fall as 40 trees were added to the landscape.
“In total we planted about 40 trees, including American chestnuts, cottonwood, red maples, willow, bald cypress redbuds, Kentucky coffee trees, Catalpa, river birch, as well as several other species. These trees should help stabilize the soils, improve wildlife habitat, and also increase the aesthetic beauty of campus,” explained James Wood, an assistant professor of biology at the university.
