Rene Naba (l) and Adrian Sanchez were among crew members with Tupelo-based Stewart Environmental Construction planting trees Wednesday near the intersection of highways 12 and 82. The beautification project supported by MSU and the Mississippi Department of Transportation involves the location of 1,550 roadway trees along the north and west borders of campus. In addition to magnolias, the new greenery includes red oaks, redbuds and other ornamental varieties.
