George Wislocki adds mulch around the newly planted Jefferson elm at Park Square on Thursday. The tree was planted to honor Lucretia Williams, who save the original elm from the axe more than 200 years before. George and Alice Wislocki, left, were instrumental in getting the elm tree. At right are Berkshire County Historical Society's Lesley Herzbert and Jan Laiz, and the city's parks manager James McGrath. Behind them is the sundial honoring the Williams installed in 1903 where the old elm once stood.
