PHOTOS: Brooks Elementary Works to Save Campus Trees

MEDFORD, MA – City environmental officials and staffers at Brooks Elementary recently worked to save two campus trees before they posed a safety hazard.

Tree Warden Aggie Tuden, Department of Public Works staff and custodian Angelo Amico and Michelle McGonigal collaborated on a project to preserve the trees, whose roots had become exposed.

The uprooted trees posed a potential safety hazard to children, and their restoration helped to beautify the school.

"Their hard work and dedication are truly appreciated!" Brooks Principal Suzanne Galusi wrote in a statement.

Take a look at photos of the process above.
