Commission weighs inspection or trimming after limbs fall from pecan trees at county park
Summary
Roddy Wolf reported several large limbs have fallen from pecan trees near the gazebo at a county park and recommended an inspection and fall trimming; commissioners asked staff to inspect and manage hazardous limbs before they cause injury.
Roddy Wolf alerted the commission that in recent months several sizable limbs have fallen from a pecan tree near the park gazebo and that one fallen limb landed on the walkway, creating a potential safety hazard.
"So my question y'all is, y'all want me to try to find somebody that can come out and and inspect the trees?" Roddy asked, suggesting the county either hire an inspector or plan removal/trimming in the fall. Commissioners favored inspections and targeted trimming rather than wholesale removal, noting many residents collect pecans and prefer preserving the trees when safe to do so.
Staff said they would evaluate the trees and plan a fall bucket‑truck operation to trim dead upper limbs or remove trees if rot and structural failure are confirmed.
