There is a stand of invasive Velvet Leaf that has doubled in size over the summer. I think it is in a city easement just south of Greenbrier on the west side of High St. I don't know if you can do anything about it but I thought I would report it.
This is a Positive Review My husband and I have been walking Bloomington trails for a decade. This past year we have discovered the last 2 segments out on Dillman Rd. It’s a lovely part of the trail covered by trees for more shade and cooler in the heat of summer. During this time we also noticed the consistent upkeep of this segment. Following the friendly custom of speaking to other walkers, we realized a consensus existed on the excellent work & commitment of Mr. Troy Carter, who cares for that particular section of trail. He is always working, always doing what needs to be done. My husband Howard, often commented that during his decades of working at Crane NSWC, he always looked for people who had this work ethic, always doing their job even when not supervised. He also is always kind and courteous to the trail users, answering questions, giving directions & just being courteous to everyone who walks by. For example if he’s blowing leaves, cutting grass, etc he will pause pulling the trigger in the few moments it takes a walker to pass him by. A small gesture possibly but a boon to those of us that use our walks for conversation or solely for the tranquility of nature and is simply a kind human gesture. We trail walkers appreciate all that he does and simply wanted to say Thank You.
During a Weed Wrangle at Clear Creek, we came upon some large debris that was too much for us to carry out. I've included a pic of the debris. The pile can be found near the creek. My geographical coordinates when I stood near the pile were: 39°08'05.7"N 86°33'40.4"W. To get there, follow the paved path south of the Tapp Rd parking lot for about 0.10 miles. There is a foot path that heads west into the woods. Follow the path until it's past the limestone blocks, then head north off the path toward the creek. The red cooler is easy to spot now that the leaves are down.
Multiple (maybe 8) very large trees of heaven growing along alley on east end of lot. Might be on City property, hard to tell. Trees are 2-3 feet in diameter. These trees are annually a source of many small invasive trees of heaven on nearby properties.
Requesting tree inspection, the tree line along my property belongs to the city. There are trees that appear dead or dying and are leaning towards the roof of my house.
There's a street tree on the Southside of 1st Street just east of Henderson that is leaning. It might be pulling up out of the ground a little. Maybe worth checking on it before it becomes a hazard.
Hi, I requested the removal of a tree near my house and was hoping for an update, that was ticket #203710. Thanks!!
Hello! For accessibility purposes I am requesting a permanent trail marker on the rail trail pictured. It can be challenging for some individuals to navigate to the entrance and exit of the rail trail pictured. This entrance is behind 433 w somersbe, however I am requesting a marker on the public trail to denote what portion this is on the trail. It would be greatly appreciated if this marker included large characters for the visually impaired. I appreciate your review of this request and consideration. Thank you.
Beautiful young ginkgo tree. Needs collar to protect from deer. Northeast corner of Olcott Park near trail. Thanks!
There are two billboards on this parcel N of our neighborhood entrance on N Walnut St to the W beyond the chiropractor’s office. It appears this parcel was once owned by Hoosier Outdoor Advertising so, I’m presuming that once Steve Ferguson obtained it and Parks and Rec is now the owner that both of these billboards can be taken out and until that might happen at least the one with the lights can have those deactived along with any service. It would be perfect if this area would then be able to gain native trees to add our Tree City USA canopy and Haskell Smith would be able to increase our diversity with new trees followed by native shrubs et al that will be most welcomed over any likely invasive bush honeysuckle et al along this main coordinator into our City and from the N into Cascades Park along the E side of Old State Rd 37 or Dixie Hwy. Thank you for letting me know if I can provide any additional information that might permit this prime cooridor becoming most appreciated and greatly improved with native trees and plants stepping up our Greenspace cooridors W and E along N Walnut Street. Thank you!
