City
to cut park trees

Marked
for the ax. |
The city council agreed Thursday, June 27, to spend $1,600 to remove a dozen diseased trees from the Sisters Village Green. The trees were identified by a team of Sisters High School students conducting an urban forestry project (see "Students inventory park trees," The Nugget, June 19, page 1).
"We confirmed that they were accurate in their assessment," noted councilor Lon Kellstrom.
Ten juniper trees and two pine trees were flagged as being infected with mistletoe and will be cut down. The stumps will be ground down so that the open spots can be covered with grass.
City public works director Gary Frazee noted that there are several large pine trees in Sisters that are dead or dying and should come down. One large tree on Fir Street is completely dead and would cost about $300 to $400 to remove.
