Trees Down at the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp

Recently some trees by the Lynnhaven Boat Ramp were cut down. OPCL President Danny Murphy asked the city for details.

Mike Parkman, Parks and Rec Supervisor for Park Events Programs and Special Use replied: “Those trees were initially damaged by vandalism. Someone cut into each of the two trees about 80% of the diameter. One of the two trees was purchased several years ago through our tree buddy program in memorial of a WWII veteran. Our Parks and Recreation tree crew came in and took them down afterward because they were now a safety issue. They are scheduled to be replaced soon, but I do not have a schedule for that.”
