300 more trees suddenly growing in West Seattle

The city yard belonging to SDOT on 8th SW in Highland Park could be said tonight to resemble something more like S-D-O-Tree. We got word this afternoon that 300 trees had just arrived, destined for plantings in various West Seattle spots, so we went over for a quick pic of city arborist Nolan Rundquist with some of his new charges, which include two types of elm. (These trees are spoken for, but if you’re interested in free street trees sometime in the future, find out more here.)

    I bet a lot of people don’t know we have a city arborist. That is one job I am grateful to pay for though. A city is so much more liveable with street trees. Healthy street trees. Unfortunately these trees live tough, often short, lives. Between vehicles, vandals, pollution, insects and rogue pruners its a tough life. Its amazing how many of them persist really.

Sorry, comment time is over.
