Trees at Wilde Lake
The photo on the right shows the pathway at the dam next to the bamboo removal site on
the north side of the lake. In order to properly replant the area CA proposes to have 4 locust
trees removed. CA will also have some existing stumps ground. This work will result in
much better planting conditions for a bank cover of low growing shrubs and perennials.
Three of the locusts are small (7 to 10" in diameter) and the other (18" diameter) has a
large vertical crack which may result in the tree splitting. Looking at the photo these 4 trees
are to the right of the large tree that's on the left side. We will plant 4 replacement trees in the park this fall in another location.
If you have any questions, please contact Jan Clark at 410-381-0312 or [email protected]
