Ridgewood NJ, An early afternoon wind gust felled a very large rain soaked tree limb on the property of RIdgewood High School, 627 East Ridgewood Avenue, RIdgewood on Sunday, 05/08. RIdgewood PD & FD personnel responded due to a report of wires being entangled in the felled branch. Firefighters were able to reattach the downed cable to an outside building wall, and a private tree contractor was called to remove the limb.
But was anyone there to hear it?
2:37. My first thought too!
Another million to a to the School Budget for unspecified damage 1 Fallen tree.
What kind and how old was the tree? A witness to how many and different scenes of youthful growth and wonder? Can the wood be used to fashion something new, like a bench or table? There is an organization that does this with toppled old trees on the estates of America’s founders and other historic sites.
