Revision to existing Apron R Tree plan
A) Remove 1 each 40ft high Black cottonwood tree
An existing 40 ft. high Black cottonwood tree roots would be affected when the
contractor removes the Boeing utilities off the DNR property.
The Cottonwood tree is adjacent to the property and could likely fall on the Apron itself,
becoming a dangerous tree.
B) Add 3 each Sitka spruces
To compensate for the tree removal and to give the grove of trees more diversity, we are
adding three more conifer trees to the DNR property.
C) Delete existing 6ft high maple tree off removal list
Existing Maple that was to be originally removed on the extreme west of the DNR
property is in a state of decline and would eventually fall on its own near the shoreline,
this would improve the habitat naturally after the normal tree and limbs fall.
