MCS to Remove Tree on Lawn - Dead Limbs had been Removed Last Summer

MIDDLEBURGH - Middleburgh Central School will have an ailing tree taken down on the high school lawn later this year.

Superintendent Mark Place told school board members at their monthly meeting last Wednesday that the tree closest to Main Street will be taken down.

The district had the limbs cleared up last summer and there was a lot of dead wood, Mr. Place added. A lot of dead wood was removed.

"When we had the arborist evaluate all of the trees on the front lawn last year, this one was identified as needing to be removed," Mr. Place said. "Last summer, we removed many of the higher limbs that had died."

He noted that the tree no longer produces much foliage.
