The Trees of Winona State University book is the result of the efforts of Bill Meyer, WSU senior groundskeeper, to record for posterity a moment in the history of WSU's grounds. He is the main designer and prime motivator of the tree plan for WSU including species selection, placement and maintenance.
Tom Grier, WSU director of University Communication, contributed writing and editorial services to the book as well as photography.
Meyer and Grier worked together for more than five years to shoot each campus tree species at various times of the year, to capture each at its best. The two then collaborated on the text to make it accurate and keep it interesting and inspirational for the reader.
