At the drop -in information session, the City's Urban Forester <br /> will be on hand to answer questions and receive comments about the proposed removals. <br /> These trees are proposed to be removed this summer because of disease and the hazards <br /> they pose for nearby residents and park users. The trees proposed to be removed will be posted <br /> on July 1 so interested parties can locate and view the specific trees prior to the July 17 <br /> information session. <br /> All of the trees proposed for removal are on the east side of the park and are within 200 <br /> feet of residences or structures. There are approximately 120 fir trees in that general area, and <br /> the diseased trees will be removed carefully by a contractor to minimize damage to the natural <br /> area and newly planted trees as well as the world - renowned floral garden in Hendricks Park. <br /> # ## <br /> Public Wnrkc • Ariminictratinn • City of Fnnen• • RCP Poa rl • Fnnone f1R Q71f11 -9797 • Phnne' 1501 RR9 -5789 • FAX (5.411 RR9 -RR9R <br />
