These trees will be marked with a blue “X” or blue flagging. The contractor shall remove trees and shrubs with the blue “X” or blue flagging along with all unmarked trees within the designated areas.

C.3.1.2 Large Tree Land Clearing involves mulching, shearing, cutting or girdling all trees and removing all shrubs that are not marked (flagged or painted).
