City crews have been digging holes and planting trees this past week on city streets and in the marina. Over 200 trees have been lost in 2019-2020, mostly because of damage from storms and the emerald ash borer insect. The city is planting a wide variety of trees now and plans to plant more in the fall.
With hot weather approaching, these trees and all trees planted within the last few years will need a lot of water to survive until their roots get established.
