Tree work at Rodgers Park was brought up in last week’s Parks Committee meeting. Parks has confirmed it is doing tree maintenance and tree removal in David Rodgers Park.
Numerous trees were damaged or blown over during the November and more recent wind storms. Dead trees that are still standing are also being removed along with the dead limbs that may cause harm on some trees.
The trees will be replaced, but no schedule was announced. “Once planted the trees will need watering and in my observation is where Parks often does not stay consistent enough to save the trees, said Don Harper, QACC Parks Chair. The Parks Tree crew currently has more than 300 work orders for tree maintenance across the city.
