Tree commission looks for replacement nursery as St. Aubin plans June closure
Summary
With St. Aubin scheduled to close in June, the commission discussed seeking clearance or donated stock for the 50–50 parkway tree program and noted that most nurseries do not provide planting services, meaning the village may need to hire a landscaper.
Commission members discussed the need to find a nursery to replace St. Aubin, which is closing in June, and explored options such as clearance pricing or donated trees for the village’s 50–50 parkway tree planting program. The minutes record that commissioners recognized many nurseries sell trees but do not provide planting services, which would require the village to hire a landscaper if it purchases stock from a vendor.
The commission agreed to continue studying procurement and planting logistics at an upcoming meeting. Jim Stark also noted that a Public Works parcel could be used to start a sapling nursery for future transplantings if needed.
