Tree Update
We share and appreciate your care for the park.
After many inquiries, HPF contacted the County about all the trees that were cut down. Most of the trees that have been cut down were infected by Emerald Ash Borer, and were cut in an effort to remove the hazardous trees from the public spaces before they become critical and fail. Some were cut due to their age and to protect park users and wildlife.
