Last spring, members of the Long Island Arbor Cultural
Association donated their services to the park for an entire morning. "This was
the most successful event of its kind, with the arborists performing well over
$50,000 worth of work," noted Kevin Connelly, former park manager.
Among the projects accomplished by these trained
specialists using their professional equipment were: cutting down large trees
that were diseased and dangerous, clearing the greenhouse area, generating
quality compost, shredding debris into wood chips, preventive pruning and
aerating roots. The arborists also donated and planted a beautiful red maple
tree.
