Students from Trinity Elementary and the Isaac Middle School sixth-grade science class joined city staff and officials to plant the Princeton Elm at Hudson Park. Vin Parisi introduced the classes and thanked teachers Melody Castiglia, Jo Ritacco and Dr. Misner for their participation.
"They give us shade on a hot day," Council Member Sarah Kaye told students while explaining tree benefits, adding that trees clean the air, provide habitat and help protect neighborhoods from flooding.
