With the leaves mostly fallen, you can really see the river view at Pulaski Park today, for the first time since May. It's quite a view.
I finished the Heritage Tree application a few weeks ago and sent it to the Department of Conservation and Recreation in time to make the November 1 deadline. I don't know how long their award process takes. Friends of Pulaski Park applied for state matching funds to care for the largest trees in the park (a Heritage Tree is one with a circumference of at least 32 inches.) We received support letters from the City of Holyoke, Representative Kane and Senator Knapik. Friends of Pulaski Park paid Urban Forestry Solutions to identify the Heritage Trees, assess their condition and make specific recommendations for their care. We then solicited bids from contractors to perform the work outlined in the report. The report is called a "Needs Assessment."
Keep your fingers crossed for us!
