Considering the consistent degradation of wetlands and waterways that we see so often, it was really nice to see efforts to protect these habitats through the planting of a buffer of trees at Schmalz Farm Park. I am amazed by the number of trees planted and it's really exciting to think that Bloomington Parks is working to remediate a habitat.
Sorry I don't have a picture but the leaves on all the oak trees in the south side of the dog park are turning black and wilting. Are these trees going to die? Can they be treated? This are is also close to the city tree nursery which could be the source or next problem area.
In Bryan Park, ragweed along the edge of the stream that feeds Sheridan Creek. Please urge mowers to mow in a little further. It's a few inches tall now, but it can get to be 3 or more feet tall by August. (Sidebar: most of the area between the basketball courts and the picnic shelter would be like that too without mowing)
Newly planted trees should not be dug up at schmals farm park because one well connected citizen “didn’t like them”.
Are you going to take the wood on the bball hoops down now? Thank you!
There has been a fish kill in Jackson creek, just off the trail. The water is clouded, smells foul. Dead fish are all over the rocks.

Hi! I’m wondering why fencing is up all around the splash pad. It’s forcing everyone into the same small area to enter, which seems like the opposite of what we want people doing right now to reduce the chance of virus spread.
On 6/30/20 at about 9:00pm I noticed a group of people skateboarding on the stage structure at Switchyard Park. Normally I probably wouldn't mind or notice, but being brand new, I figured Parks & Rec would want to be aware to try to prevent it from becoming common.
