Tree Protections & Removals

The Master Plan was designed to ensure trees of the highest significance and value remained. 2-for-1 replacement policy The tree work for the Promenade and Pavilion project involves the removal of 128 trees, resulting in the planting of 256 new trees throughout the park system.
