Hazardous Trees on the MHC Campus

Happily this winter we have only a few trees that need to be removed.  A pin oak south of Brigham was shown to be hollow when tested with a resistograph.  Two hemlocks west of Torrey parking lot have died due to the hemlock woolly adelgid pest.

All three trees will be removed during spring break for safety reasons: there are fewer people moving around campus.  As well, it is easier to block off areas, such as the space around the pin oak on the road around Skinner Green.
