The recent ceremony had been postponed from earlier this year, when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its height in New York. For the past 11 years, the region’s Safety and Health Committee has planted a tree in counties throughout the region as a living memorial to fallen workers. This year’s ceremony took place in Madison County. (Photo by Nicholas Newcomb)
