When dozens of trees toppled on campus in wicked wind and rain over the last 10 days, crews from Grounds and Landscape Services and the Arboretum and Public Garden responded quickly to clear paths and roads and start clearing the debris.

One tree crashed into a building, putting a hole in the wall, drawing a quick response by a maintenance team that nailed a sheet of plywood over the hole. Another tree landed atop one of the campus’s Egghead sculptures, requiring extra care.
