Providing all labor, materials, tools and other equipment necessary for tree removal: Arkansas Post National Memorial has two Native American mounds that have large trees damaging their structural integrity. These mounds are experiencing slumping and erosion due to the sheer weight of the trees. The possibility of wind thrown trees is a great concern. Overturned trees can pull up large chunks of soil with the root system causing damage to cultural deposits. Root penetration of trees and scrub can also have a significant impact on archeological deposits. These mounds are designated as Menard-Hodges National Historic Landmark and are sacred to the Quapaw Nation of Oklahoma. We anticipate that work would begin in August 2025 and completed within 90 days of receipt of award.
