Trees to be removed at Blue Heron Park

Seattle City Light is going to remove the invasive Black Locust Trees and a group of Quaking Aspen from Blue Heron Park in Lake Forest Park the week of April 13.

The City reports that the trees are in poor health and have been topped or excessively trimmed multiple times because of their proximity to the utility lines.

The City Arborist and City have reviewed the tree removal plan and the City has issued the permits for the tree removal.

In the fall the City is going to revegetate the area with appropriate native trees and shrubs that will not grow into the utility lines.

Blue Heron Park is located at NE 170th St at Hamlin Road, just off Bothell Way.
