Current Shade Tree Projects


  • North Exchange Street: In 2009, about 80 trees were selected, sited and planted from the old railroad overpass south to Lake Street, following completion of new road work.

  • North Genesee Street: Committee members have had to reassess possible tree choices and planting sites on this and neighboring streets. Additional trees are expected to be planted this year.RedBud Tree
     
  • Washington Street: Trees were replaced following completion of major roadwork in 2009.

  • North Main Street: Some of the medians will be replanted this spring; others are doing well. Once the medians have been replanted, the trees along the sidewalks will be evaluated.

  • Arbor Day: An annual tree planting on the last Friday in April. Classes from primary schools attend the event. In 2009 32 trees were planted on Avenue B.

  • Bicentennial Park: It’s been a challenge to grow trees in this park. Casualties will be replaced with smaller specimens that have a better survival rate.

  • VerPlanck Street and College Avenue: A pilot program working with homeowners and Hobart and William Smith Colleges, which owns several houses in this neighborhood, on replacing many large silver maples that have been removed or will soon need to be. Committee members walked the streets with a dozen residents and the Grounds Manager of HWS, a plan was drawn up and some of the trees have been planted by HWS. Committee intends to revisit the site and help residents decide on sites and species.

  • City Shade Tree Nursery: We’re developing a nursery at the water treatment plant to grow some newer and interesting species to be planted in test sites around the city.
