In this photo taken Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2016, participants in a "tree hugging ceremony" gather around an elm tree, believed to be the largest of its kind in New England, before it is cut down in Charlotte, Vt., after the tree died of Dutch elm disease, a fungus that killed millions of elm trees after it arrived in North America in the last century. The wood from the tree will be turned into furniture and other items. The funds will be used to help The Nature Conservancy replant disease resistant elm trees. (Tai Dinnan/Vermont Tree Goods via AP)
