Tree mitigation begins August 22

Following an extensive tree, environmental, and wildlife assessment including bird nesting observations, large trees will be removed as a part of the Bear Creek Trail project at the S. Estes Street underpass in the Bear Creek Greenbelt. The tree removal allows for mitigation of existing hazardous conditions through the underpass for trail users. Removal will require a crane to come in on the east side of S. Estes Street on Monday, August 22. Over 80 new diverse species of trees will be planted as a part of the Bear Creek Trail project.
