Securing the roots of a greener future

RAF MILDENHALL, England -- Charlie Robertson, a contractor, feeds a wire cable through a metal ratchet before tightening it and securing it to the roots of a tree March 31, 2011. Trees are currently being planted in the new Washington Square area, which has recently been turned from a busy parking lot into a landscaped area. This method is being used to secure the trees properly, to ensure they stay solidly in the ground during all weather conditions. (U.S. Air Force photo/Karen Abeyasekere)
