Citizens <br /> are asked to choose a park tree and water it on a daily basis during the <br /> and fall season until the ground freezes. Such <br /> remainder of this summer <br /> watering will help ensure the likelihood of these trees staying alive during <br /> this drought. <br /> The following parks have fire hydrants as water sources: <br /> - Groveland Park <br /> - Hillview Park <br /> • _ Lambert Park <br /> Random Park <br /> - Woodcrest Park <br /> - Greenfield Park <br /> - Silver View Park <br /> One must simply turn the hydrant faucet on, fill a bucket and remember to <br /> turn the faucet off. Use the bucket to pour water slowly at the base of the <br /> tree. Be sure that the water soaks into the ground and does not run off. <br /> Several bucket-fulls will be necessary to adequately soak the ground so that <br /> tree roots can absorb the water. Flower beds located under park signs need <br /> daily watering too. <br /> Your help in watering park trees will surely make an impact on saving the <br /> trees. Thank you for any service that you can give. <br /> If you have questions, please call the office at 784-3055. <br /> Sincerely, • <br /> Mary Saarion, Director <br /> Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br /> MS/SL <br /> • <br />
