Tree Board taps Blue Stone for invasive removal; work bound by March 31 bat protection deadline
Summary
The Tree Board selected Blue Stone to remove 35 invasive trees and replant native species; Town Manager Sandie Jones said the work must be completed by March 31 because of a protected bat species and Brown County Soil and Water labeled trees and will contact adjacent owners.
Chief Administrative Officer Phyllis Carr told the council the Tree Board chose Blue Stone to remove 35 invasive trees and replant native trees under the LSR project. Town Manager Sandie Jones added that the work must be completed by March 31 due to protections for a local bat species and that Brown County Soil and Water had hired someone to label the trees and speak with neighbors adjacent to the removal sites.
The council recorded the update and no vote on contracting was recorded at the meeting; COA Carr's statement indicates a preferred contractor and a short timeline driven by environmental regulation. The transcript does not include a final contract award or project budget.
