East Sacramento Preservation Seeks McKinley Pond Pictures To Help With Restoration
Got an old McKinley Pond photo? If you remember where that polaroid, carrousel slide or instamatic is stashed, dust it off and send us a copy. You can send us a picture of the picture, scan it, or copy it. Posting it on Facebook and tagging us would work too. We’re looking for pictures to help Judy McClaver review past “lives” of the pond to help with restoration.
East Sacramento McKinley Park Loses Two More Trees
Tree Foundation—Elm Update, July 29, 2014, McKinley Park
Recently one of the Elm trees shed a large limb over the playground and damaged the park bench. No one was injured. This incident prompted Urban Forestry Services to perform aerial inspections on the group of Elms in that area. We have been informed that two trees will be removed due to substantial structural defects. The remaining six trees have structural defects that will be manage with pruning and periodic monitoring. The pruning and removals are scheduled to begin today (7-29-14) and will continue for a day or two until the work is completed.
The removal of these grand trees is a huge loss to the playground area. Once seasonal rains begin the Sacramento Tree Foundation will work with the community to plant replacement trees. In the mean time you, your friends and family can care for our beloved park trees. Join the Sacramento Tree Foundation for their next Mulch Madness! August 4th @6:30.
