A memorial takes hold around the Toomer's Oaks on the campus of Auburn University. The oak trees were poisoned with a lethal quantity of herbicide in January by an angry Alabama fan, after Auburn won the 2010 National Football Championship. Efforts are underway to save the trees and protect against the spread of the herbicide to the surrounding gardens. The incident has triggered a truce to the intense rivalry between Auburn and Alabama. BAMA students have raised several thousand dollars to contribute to the effort to save the trees.
The Toomer's Oaks are estimated to be at least 135 years old and have been the center of campus celebrations for most of the school's history.
