Village Tree Pruning Begins

Over the coming months, a Village contractor will be pruning parkway trees. The goal of this routine maintenance is to remove broken, dead, and diseased limbs and low-hanging limbs that are a potential hazard to pedestrians, vehicular traffic, or infrastructure.

While pruning may seem severe in some cases, this is necessary maintenance for the continued growth and health of the Village trees.
