Trappe council declines to top 39 trees at Nace’s Park after contractors warn of tree death risk
Summary
Superintendent Shawn Lane reported two estimates to top 39 trees at Nace’s Park ($12,500 written; $8,500–$10,000 verbal) and warned trees may die if topped; the council agreed to leave the trees and continue selective heightening.
Superintendent Shawn Lane told the council he received two estimates to top trees at Nace’s Park—a written estimate for $12,500 and a verbal estimate of $8,500 to $10,000—and warned that the trees, because they are not mature, “may die if topped.”
After discussion about cost and risk, the council reached consensus not to proceed with topping and instead instructed staff to continue incremental heightening as needed. No formal motion to spend funds on topping was made during the meeting.
