MEMO TO: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br />PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br />FROM: RICK WRISKEY, FORESTER <br />DATE: MARCH 9, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: CUTTING OF PUSSY WILLOWS AT SILVER VIEW PARK <br />It appears that a group of at least five people (some on <br />snowshoes) spent six hours last weekend cutting pussy willow <br />branches in the area northwest of Scotland Green (Silver View <br />Park) . <br />These were not your bouquet only type folks. Based on what I <br />saw, my guess would be that they are selling the branches for <br />forcing to florists, etc. A complaining resident said they had <br />bundles. I told her to call the police the next time it happens. <br />The cutting shouldn't hurt the given trees much. I would think <br />that all this is a matter of principle. There were also old <br />cuts, so it's been going on for years. Just thought you would <br />want to know. <br />RFW/SLL <br />
