Another historic oak tree falls

A recent downpour series of storms have been plummeting through the state and specifically the southern region which have caused environmental damage to the landscapes in many cities across California. The University of La Verne was directly affected as three oak trees have toppled over on campus in the past few months.

A live oak tree fell onto Third Street at approximately 8 a.m. Wednesday following the heavy rains delivered by winter storms over the past week.

Students walk by a fallen tree at University of La Verne’s Sneaky Park as the Student Involvement Fair happens in the background Wednesday.

Elias Gennaoui, junior biology major; Samantha Stefanoff, senior studio art and art history major; and Frances Jones, sophomore business administration major, make bracelets as part of the Celebration of Kwanzaa event Wednesday in Sneaky Park.
