PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

This project will consist of the elimination of approx. 13 Dead and partially dead Cypress and Pines trees. NPS inspected these trees and they were considered dangerous due to their location near parking lots, picnic areas and work zones. The trees are directly above pedestrian trails and a City Street

(Clement St.). In the past many branches have fallen off and caused damage to parked cars and can also be very hazardous for traffic on the street.

This project also included the removal of various dead and broken branches and all branches in decline.

Removing unnecessary crossed branches as needed under the tree canopy to reduce in size and create space for better air and light circulation. In addition, tree pruning will be beneficial to the health of the tree. All generated materials must be removed and chipped and transported off-site. (see map for marked pruning area)
