Parks staff report tree plantings and removal of cottonwood rounds at 5 Acre Park
Summary
Staff reported a new maple planted at 5 Acre Park for Arbor Day and removal of several large cottonwood rounds that had been stored on site for several years.
Parks staff updated the board on April tree work at 5 Acre Park, saying a new maple tree was planted during Arbor Day and that crews removed a longstanding pile of large cottonwood rounds that had been stored on site for several years.
Staff said the cottonwood rounds had been left from prior removals because cottonwood is poor firewood; a tree company used cranes to haul the rounds away and the parks yard no longer contains the large rounds. The update was presented as part of the routine tree report; board members had no substantive objections.
