Follow up on case #168883 about trees and vines growing up around the Norway spruce on the east side of the park between the tennis courts and the Woodlawn Shelter. I got an email saying that the issue had been resolved. It has not, unless that means it has been reported to the groundskeepers for clean up in the fall. Please clarify. Thanks!
The screenshot shows something I posted in Facebook. I am suggesting that the City "re-wild" this stretch of Bryan Park where the underground spring bubbles up to the surface. Maybe just on a trial basis, stop mowing? As I recall something like that was down with "feeder" stream. Another model would be the area on IU campus near the Jordan garage and School of Ed. Also, a BIG thank you for not using leaf-blowers to sweep the playgrounds any more.
uReport Case #168317: I got a follow up email today about the hole I reported. Thanks to the long period of heavy rainfall, I think I have discovered what is responsible for the holes---burrowing crawdads. So, I still think the holes are dangerous BUT maybe there is no point in filling them.
Case #168067 should closed now. The grounds crew has been diligent in mowing. The photo above was taken this morning. Last year at this time that bald cypress was surrounded by ragweed several feet high.
Time to clear out all the saplings, vines, weeds, etc. from underneath all the Norway spruce in Bryan Park. No my first report on this, but now it is (late) fall.
Broken memorial tree marker. I don't know what your policy is about these, but it seems sad for it to be in such bad shape.
