Tree Removals Winter 2010-2011

At the Dec. 9th Greens and Grounds meeting I presented the list of trees to be removed this winter.  After reviewing the list the Committee did not feel there was a need to approve the list as it only included trees that needed to be taken down due to conditions or was part of the on-going Management Plan that was done by StrataPoint Inc.

The list below has two categories.  The first is trees that need to be taken down due to their condition.  The second is a list of trees that were recommended (Tree Management Plan) for removal.  I have also included the page or pages from the Plan where the recommendations can be found.
