City of Parksville crews and contractors will be working in Foster Park this week to remove a number of dead, drying or compromised trees. This work is part of the city’s ongoing tree maintenance program and upgrades to Foster Park.
The work is expected to continue through the spring and will include irrigation upgrades and tree plantings. The area will be re-seeded later this year.
