Three campers from Norwood Recreation's summer day camp, held at Father Mcaleer (Father Mac) Playground in Norwood, were transported to area hospitals with minor injuries on Thursday, June 11th, after a tree branch fell from a tree at the site, said the Town of Norwood in a press release later that day.
One child's lower extremity was trapped below the fallen tree limb, and Norwood firefighters worked to free the trapped child, according to Norwood Firefighters Local 1631 in a Facebook post. The child was transported to a local hospital. Westwood Fire Department personnel assisted in treating the other students, says the post.
Of the injuries sustained to "several campers," the most serious injury appears to be an ankle injury, said the Town of Norwood.
"Out of an abundance of caution, the Public Works Department will be conducting additional trimming and branch removal beyond their routine maintenance at the site," states the town in its press release.

Thanks Ms. Viti for calling attention to the language regarding the Reimbursement of Expenses as detailed in the Conservation Restriction on 665 Clapboardtree Street.
Thank you, Ms. Viti. That is precisely why the Town is seeking the judge’s interpretation and ruling. Once again, you are reinforcing Mr. Moore’s previous arguments for why the Town and the WLT need to allow the declaratory judgment to play out – so the judge can rule
The Townwide cleanup is wonderful. Unfortunately none of the
Westwood Conservation areas are included.
