Residents at the Conservation and Preservation Committee meeting on Aug. 5 urged more tree plantings at Potteiger Park and sought clarity on water access for newly planted trees.

Sharran Novak discussed planting pine trees at Potteiger Park and asked about access to water for the trees. Supervisor Dave Lenker referred Novak and Edward Schell to Parks and Recreation for follow-up on water access. Clarence Bouchat suggested contacting the New Kingstown Vision committee regarding water access for the park.
