Deep roots. Shallow roots. It didn't matter. As Super-storm Sandy plundered her way up the East Coast last October, she treated huge trees as if they were twigs. Her winds snapped some in half. Others fell over. The damage is visible in parks and along roadsides throughout New Jersey. And to mark Arbor Day, April 26, the New Jersey Forestry Services urges residents to "Plant on it!" as a way to help revitalize the state's population of trees. It sold packets of seedlings to organizations that will help in the effort.
