MEMO TO: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR c/r/- 7/, /G,Z <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> • FROM: RICK WRISKEY, CITY FORESTER <br /> DATE: MARCH 8, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL HARVESTING OF PUSSY WILLOWS <br /> AT SILVER VIEW PARK <br /> Every year for the last two or three years, there has been a massive illegal cutting of <br /> willow stems and shoots in the "marshy" area of Silver View Park northwest of <br /> Scotland Green Apartments. We received a late report from a nearby resident who <br /> said a group of four to six people cut continuously last year for the better part of a <br /> day. Examination of the area found that this apparently has been going on for a <br /> number of years. <br /> I've asked several adjacent "neighbors" to call the police if they see the same thing <br /> again this year. Late March to early April will be the likely time to find this <br /> happening. <br /> Could you please mention this at a staff meeting or inform police that this is a serious <br /> matter in that it involves using public land for private gain? <br /> RW/SL <br /> • <br />
