According to the King County Parks Dep., about 30 old and diseased poplar trees are being removed from Steve Cox Memorial Park in White Center,with plans to replant new trees within the next few weeks.
King County is removing a long line of Lombardy Poplar trees along the southern edge of the park because the trees are in declining health. A local tree service company has been contracted to take the trees down, and Parks crews will re-plant the area with native spruce, fir and cedars.
The project is expected to be completed by mid-to late November with an estimated cost of $35,000.
More information on the tree removal project is available by contacting Jason Rich, capital project manager, at 206-263-7314, or via email at jason.rich@kingcounty.gov, or by visiting their website.
