An ash tree is shown cut down near garrison headquarters Feb. 25, 2021, at Fort McCoy, Wis. According to Fort McCoy Forester Charles Mentzel with the Directorate of Public Works Natural Resources Branch, the tree was split and posed a possible hazard along one of the busiest roadways on the cantonment area. The tree was approximately 75 years old and was planted when the cantonment area was built. The tree has also been seen in many photos with the garrison headquarters and flagpole over those seven-plus decades. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T. Sturkol, Public Affairs Office, Fort McCoy, Wis.)
