Prospect volunteers expect canopy plantings to begin next week after address markings
Summary
Volunteers reported that flagged addresses and BUD coordinates are in and nursery-held trees are ready; crews plan to begin planting early next week pending final address markings and weather, and the board will notify participants when a date is set.
At a Prospect forestration board meeting, participants said planting for the city’s canopy program is likely to begin early next week after crews completed flagging and submitted address coordinates for utility/marking work.
Board members reported that crews identified as Perez and Cortez had dug the trees and moved them to the nursery, and that PBS/BUD markings had been submitted for the project. Participants cautioned that a few addresses still awaited final markings; once those are confirmed the team will set a planting day and inform volunteers by email.
The group said one proposed planting site was declined because the lot is under development and requires grading before a tree would be viable. Members also identified a specific replacement planting near Southern Farm Drive that was cleared for BUD submission and homeowner agreement.
Board members discussed weather sensitivity for early-week planting and said they expect a day will be chosen once markings and logistics are verified. The meeting also recommended continued coordination with participating HOAs and volunteer lists to ensure adequate staffing and placement.
The board plans to notify participants and the public when the confirmed planting date is available.
