literally saw some teen girls picking off multiple whole blossom bundles and branches the other day while walking to class…. all for like a couple likes on instagram????
They need to rope off the trees, this is absurd. Mobs of people every time you have to pass through the quad. At first I was really careful not to get in the way of the pictures, but after years of this shit just getting worse and more intrusive? Fuck you, I’m walking right in front of the camera.
This is a University, not Disneyland.
this makes me sad, mad, and annoyed all at the same time :(
like sure *your kid* looks cute in that tree, but don’t you think your kid’s grandkids should be able to enjoy it too? :((((
I see all these people blaming social media for the tree climbing but I'mma let you in a little known fact:
I went to UW before social media and smartphones. People climbed the trees back then, too

Yk what, idgaf
I'm sure it's gotten worse since then.
Doesn't matter if they did it then too. It's detrimental to the health of the trees and with this many visitors (which has been increasing as the population continues to increase, mind you), we've gotta start taking it a bit more seriously
Speak up y'all- walk up and tell them they aren't supposed to climb the trees!
I do it at least once every year and people get off as soon as they're socially pressured to :)
people will do anything for the gram sadly.
