Transplanting an Ash Tree

Our fall tree transplanting continues.  This week we tackled an ash tree on campus that is probably at least 12 years old.  The tree was growing into another tree and had to either be moved or cut down.  

 The students all got a work out with digging dirt and cutting roots.  With a little help from the skid-steer, we were able to dig it out and transplant it on campus.
3 of the students helped steady the tree as we transported it across campus.
 After digging the tree out, a new hole had to be dug to put the tree into.
Here is the tree's final resting place.  We hope that it survives the stress and takes off again this spring!
