INC NEWS - Hike to look at urban trees

[RW Pickle]

On the same note, I'll be appearing at the City Council work session today
at 2:30 (not 4 as usual for Citizen Concerns) with my expose' on the dead
trees in our City Parks. My guesstimate is 1,000 or more in the parks
alone. I have visited 22 of our 66 parks and have photos of 297 dead
trees. So I assume I missed a bunch. It was a lazy mans tour while
looking... I also threw away 50 some photos that weren't clear enough to
use. So trees are sure to be a big issue here shortly.
