New Haven Parks Department PLUS

Poison ivy covers the trunk of street tree. This is not good for the tree or the neighbors or anyone using the sidewalk. Ivy branches extend 5 to 6 feet outward from the trunk.

There are many huge downed trees at Edgerton Park that have been there since March storms. They are a hazard and need to be removed immediately. Children are playing on them despite the yellow caution tape.
- 2 LARGE white pine trees in lower field
- 1 Yew at top of lower hill. 1/2 of tree is down
The park has many visitors every day especially in the summer. New Haven Parks Department tree removal equipment should be over to take care of this with chain saws and chippers. Tomorrow is AUGUST. Thank you for your attention to this important and long overdue fix.

We have a diseased and overgrown City of New Haven tree in front of our house which was planted between the sidewalk and street. I am concerned that it will crash on our house in high winds. Could you please remove this tree?
