Parks clearing trees along lakefront lagoon killed by emerald ash borer. Back to the full article.
The tree stumps in pictures 3 and 4 are definitely willow trees, not ash trees. I worked for St Paul Parks dept. and did ash tree removal along shorelines; we did it in a targeted way and did not just a clearcut of everything.
This looks like a sloppy job from a bottom tier bidder.
I hope something is done about this…
Criminal job sanctioned by City experts? Some shrubs/trees needed to be left to integrate with north area. The non-ash invasives they claim to have cleared out will be the first ones back. No rest for the eyes in summer.
Why does Milwaukee always go for ugly and stupid? Even UWM with an “architecture” school put up a vast white warehouse directly on Kenwood Blvd. Blinding white: so appropriate for blistering summers. Oh well. In a few years it will be dirty.
