BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Tree Lodi, a local nonprofit committed to preserving and enhancing our urban forest, provides many benefits to our park system through education, volunteerism, tree planting and maintenance, which includes pruning, fertilizing and watering. Tree Lodi, with the assistance of the Parks Division and Eagle Scout candidate Logan Roper, planted 24 trees in the area of the new boat launching facilities on December 10, replacing those dead, dying and diseased trees that were removed as part of the project. Tree Lodi will present Mayor Kuehne with a check that represents the cost of the new trees. Tree Lodi will provide three years of maintenance to ensure the trees thrive and provide aesthetic and environmental benefits to the community for years to come. FISCAL IMPACT: Tree Lodi's donation eliminates the need of PRCS' Parks Division to pay for and maintain replacement trees. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
