The Fort Hale Park Group met on Thursday evening to plant two eastern red cedars along the fence bordering the Fort Hale Marine Base. The gloomy weather could not keep the group away as the six-foot trees were planted and mulched. The eastern red cedars will succeed the Austrian pines, which are dying in Fort Hale Park due to disease.
