Shade Tree Commission adds tree‑identification signage project to five‑year plan; Eagle Scout proposed
Summary
The commission agreed to include a Tree Identification Project in its five‑year plan, proposing signage made from existing inventory data and suggesting the project as a potential Eagle Scout effort after the originally assigned volunteer did not progress.
The Shade Tree Commission decided to include a Tree Identification Project in its five‑year plan and to focus on installing identification signs using existing inventory data. The minutes state that Aaron Chaiklin (also spelled Chalin in the notes) had originally been assigned the task but it has not progressed; commissioners suggested the project could work well as an Eagle Scout service project.
The plan calls for producing signs so that volunteers or scouts would not be required to identify tree species in the field. The commission also noted it will rely on existing inventory records to create sign content and track the project under the five‑year plan.
