Large Tree Removed From Veterans Park

Posted

McKENZIE (June 29) — A 100-foot tall tree was removed from the downtown Veterans Memorial Park on Wednesday, June 29. The tree was heavily damaged and rotten in much of the top.

City officials invited an arbonist to inspect the tree to determine the amount of damage. The arbonist recommended its removal instead of simply trimming the top.

Bobby Knight Tree Service spend approximately three days cutting the tree and hauling away the debris. The stump was also removed. A second tree near Banner Row was also removed because it was dead.
