Oak tree moved from corner to corner

April 25th, 2017

A heritage oak is moved on Tuesday afternoon from behind Renwick House to its new home across the street on the nortwest corner of Wig Beach on College Avenue. Workers from Senna Tree Company used a massive crane and flat bed truck to safely move the roughly 40-foot tall tree. When in the ground, the oak exceeded the height of the 1900s two-story, late Victorian home. The Renwick House itself will also be moved, with Pomona College and the city giving a six-week timeframe for the project. The site at College and Bonita behind the public library is being cleared to begin construction on the Pomona College Museum of Art.

Where am I?

Work continues on Claremont McKenna College’s Roberts Campus Sports Bowl, the new 50,000-square-foot outdoor sports complex at the 74-acre former quarry just east of Claremont Boulevard, with phase one completion expected in the fall. “You can see that work is progressing,” said Alex Boekelheide, associate vice president of strategic communications and marketing at CMC. “There was some rain earlier this year. The weather was definitely a factor, but now we are working hard to get the structure for the parking garage put together on the west side of the space and things are going well, it’s running very smoothly.” Photo/courtesy of CMC
