Sonoma State University is removing 205 trees from campus grounds that border E. Cotati Ave. and Petaluma Hill Rd. Work began Monday, Aug. 31 to eradicate the non-native stands of 50-year-old, towering blue gum eucalyptus.

Sonoma State University is opening its doors to wildfire evacuees, as the second and third largest wildfires in California history are burning simultaneously. Strong winds, low humidity, and high heat are currently fueling approximately 600 fires across the Golden State.
