Ahhhh!!!! Thanks for reporting this. Let's get these trees cleared of the vines. Protect old-growth trees. I may be able to head over there later tonight or later this week to help clear them.

I’ve cut a lot of ivy off trees between the park and the backyards on Glendale, but there is a lot more on the trees between the asphalt path and the lower field. It was wonderful how the city rescued the woods between Knob Hill and the upper field. Please do that all over the park!!!!

The city makes a lot of noise about saving trees, yet they've done NOTHING about this ivy killing the old trees.

Still an issue.

Does anyone actually care about our old trees? Nothing's been done yet.

Still waiting...

Connor would you please let us know why this ivy hasn't been removed?

Please be advised that the trees have been added to the maintenance list and will be addressed as soon as reasonable Thank you for your patience.

The City has been contracting the invasives removals in the parks and glenlake park is being worked on in zones as are most of our greenspaces. The first 2 zones were worked on this past 2 years and the remaining zones will be done over the next 2 years. This is being done so as not to destroy the existing native trees and vegitation. We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this issue.

These two trees were in a zone already ostensibly worked on. The crew seemed to have simply skipped over the trees anywhere near the fences. I personally removed ivy from the trees they left the ivy on from Knob Hill to the two trees in question. Those two were too much for me do I gave up. Whatever the next two zones are will not include these two trees.

Still waiting...

The trees are still waiting to be saved. Why is the city paying an arborist?

The work has begun on the tree ivy removal, the lot was cut and the ivy will be trimmed down over the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Nope. Hasn't happened. There's STILL ivy on the trees.

How long does this take? Do we wait for the ivy to kill the trees and then take out the dead trees? What a crackerjack arborist we have!

The trees are still being choked to death.

K. Evanovich said back in APRIL "2 to 3 weeks." What kind of calendar do y'all use?

The work began on the trees ivy removal, the vines were cut at the base then we must wait for the ivy to die before it can be pulled off the tree. The grounds crew will be cutting the ivy from the remaining areas of the lot. The city arborists have numerous duties for the city involving trees, the highest risk issues are resolved first.
Thank you for your patience.

grounds crew to cut ivy on entire lot

I see the ivy on one of the trees is dried up & most likely dead; the other tree has bright green ivy.
