Hamilton commission outlines logistics for 250-tree planting initiative
Summary
The Shade Tree Commission discussed a 250-tree planting project including making tags for trees, printing large plastic sheets, organizing 60 addresses, assigning watering to public works staff, and noting about 120 trees already queued for planting.
Hamilton Township’s Shade Tree Commission on April 28 discussed operational plans for a 250-tree planting initiative, including how to tag and track trees, who will handle watering, and the status of trees already queued.
Commissioners reviewed that the 250-tree project will use a double-sided 4½-inch disc for tree identification and that large printed plastic sheets are pending from an entity listed in the notes as “ESCNG.” Members said 60 addresses will be entered into a spreadsheet and organized by address to schedule plantings.
Staffing and watering logistics were central to the discussion: commission notes reference “Mike @ public works” as the person assigned to water trees in parks. The commission also reported roughly 120 trees are already in the local pipeline awaiting placement.
The commission agreed that if residents want a tree included in the 250-tree count they can be given a tag; details about resident requests will be coordinated through the township newsletter and staff outreach. No formal motion or vote was recorded on the 250-tree program at the meeting.
