FORESTRY DIVISION
A. WARREN STEWART, Superintendent
The Forestry Department has the maintenance of three (3) parking areas, trees, lawn areas, flower beds, shrubs, roses at City Hall and Quincy Square, McGrath Memorial, Presidents' Houses and other Public Buildings, along with ninety-two (92) flower beds throughout the City, in City greenhouses for use in the flower beds.
The care and setting up of the Christmas lighting at City Hall, the Creche at Mount Wollaston Cemetery and the Christmas trees donated by the taxpayers for use throughout the City were all taken care of by the Forestry Department.
In addition, the Department handled the planting and pruning of trees in the City, as well as Spraying for pest control and the removal of all dangerous and diseased trees; also, the pruning of street trees for tension line clearance for the Massachusetts Electric Company.
A tree survey was also taken of Elm trees for the Dutch Elm disease throughout the entire City; this survey confirmed one hundred ninety-three (193) trees had to be removed.
A lack of rainfall the past few years and fungus disease have claimed two hundred four (204) maple trees.
A survey and listing were made for tree stumps to be removed throughout the City, resulting in a total of two hundred ten (210) stumps.
Two thousand (2000) gals. of 12% D.D.T. were sprayed with our Air Mist Blowers on insect pest control.
