Fostering trees in Monarch Park
Submitted by Jessica Piskorowski on November 07, 2013Friends of Monarch Park, Park People and LEAF were already hard at work mulching away when I stepped into the park two Saturdays ago. Last year, several of its large trees were brought to the ground by a heavy wind storm and it was imperative that succession planting be an important part of renewing the canopy. The vision of so many key community players had me up early to see the dream of a healthy canopy get a little closer to realization.
