CATS’ Landmark Tree for 2020, this wonderful American Elm is a beacon, high above Monticello Road. It shades Summit Elementary School, built in 1931. So it could be around 84 years old and looks older. The school has many beautiful trees and is well worth a drive or walk around to see. These include a row of Sycamores by Tufton Ave and 2 beautiful Oaks at the back entrance to the school. We were unable to have an Arbor Day celebration due to Covid restrictions.
